Opening a link in a div with PHP

I am building a site that parses a spanish dictionary. If you look up the word HOLA, you will receive the definition, but for other words, you get suggestions, like CASA: http://verbum.xtrweb.com/verbumpost.php?word0=hola&word-1=casa

I wish to: when you click on the suggestions (like CASAR in the example I posted above) to print the result in a div like HOLA. Here is the code I am currently using:

$words = array('word0','word-1');
        function url_decode($string){
        return urldecode(utf8_decode($string));
        }

        $baseUrl = 'http://lema.rae.es/drae/srv/search?val=';

        $cssReplace = <<<EOT

        <style type="text/css">
        // I changed the style
        </style>
        </head>
EOT;

$resultIndex = 0;

foreach($words as $word) {
    if(!isset($_REQUEST[$word]))
        continue;

    $contents = file_get_contents($baseUrl . urldecode(utf8_decode($_REQUEST[$word])));

    $contents = str_replace('</head>', $cssReplace, $contents);
    $contents = preg_replace('/(search?[\d\w]+)/','http://lema.rae.es/drae/srv/search', $contents);


    echo "<div style='
          //style
         ", (++$resultIndex) ,"'>", $contents,
            "</div>";
    }

I am starting to code, so please be patient, I have also tried with some DOM code a friend suggested but it failed to function.

to output content in a styled div, just replace:

echo "<div style='
      //style
     ", (++$resultIndex) ,"'>", $contents,
        "</div>";
}

with:

$divStyle = 'background: none repeat scroll 20% center transparent; margin-left: 275px; height: auto; box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px rgb(0, 0, 0) inset; border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); margin-top: 35px; padding-left: 14px; width: 793px; padding-bottom: 80px;';

//insert $divStyle as the "style" attribute
echo "<div style='" . $divStyle . "'" . (++$resultIndex) . "'>" . $contents . "</div>";

2 things changed:

  • dots, not commas to join stuff in PHP strings.
  • removed overflow(no need for the scrollbar) and added padding(extra internal space) to the divs bottom
