How do I echo multiple lines in PHP?

Question

I am having a hard time where this code

<div class = "col-md-8">
     <?php echo $row['actualpost']; ?>
</div>

is overlapping the column in a div. How can we multi line this?

Not sure if it's a copy or paste error, but you're missing the `?` for the PHP end tag `?>` — Jeff Lambert, Sep 09 '16 at 13:03
I hope you can progress now but I will suggest you to check http://php.net/manual/en/faq.html.php — Prafulla Kumar Sahu, Sep 09 '16 at 13:12
First do not use sir word for me, just feel like you are talking with a friend . next if you are still facing problem update your question with error you are getting ? — Prafulla Kumar Sahu, Sep 09 '16 at 13:18
I'm just trying to be respectful @PrafullaKumarSahu. I've got no error, the problem only is that it overlaps the div. — LecheDeCrema, Sep 09 '16 at 13:22
if $row['actualpost'] is a string there should not be any problem with your code beside ``` php``` space before "php" . — Prafulla Kumar Sahu, Sep 09 '16 at 13:27

You can wrap your string using wordwrap() function like this:

wordwrap($row['actualpost'], 10, '<br>');

This function will wrap your long string into multiline.

Or

You can use this css for your div

word-wrap: break-word;

what is 10 btw? – LecheDeCrema Sep 09 '16 at 13:11
max length of a line, after this length your line will break – Neel Ion Sep 09 '16 at 13:13
`'); ?>` is that how it supposed to be ? – LecheDeCrema Sep 09 '16 at 13:18
@LouchinVarCariasCejar yes – Neel Ion Sep 09 '16 at 13:20
@LouchinVarCariasCejar but why you are using line length only one character? – Neel Ion Sep 09 '16 at 13:21
it's still the same, I've changed it to 10, it's still the same. – LecheDeCrema Sep 09 '16 at 13:24
