Simple php $message display center?

Question

How do I display my image on the center of my page I tried

<center><?php
        }
        else
        {
            $form = true;
            $message = 'The username or password you entered are not good.';
        }
    }
    else
    {
        $form = true;
    }
    if($form)
    {
?></center>

But it didn't work..

Don't use tags, use CSS to position your output. Additionally, restructure your code so that it's obvious what the conditionals are doing. I can't see the if statements in here, and you run a high risk of something failing and the tags not even being output in the first place. — Zarathuztra, Feb 16 '14 at 14:39

Try this:

<?php } else {
      $form = true;
      $message = '<div style="text-align: center;>The username or password you entered are not good.</div>';
     }
    } else {
        $form = true;
    }
    if($form)
    {
?>

However, you should be doing this in your CSS file.

+1 for css. You could use this `$message = '
...
` and in your css use this: `.center{text-align:center;}` – ABC Feb 16 '14 at 14:40

Add inline CSS style like below

$message = '<span style = "text-align:center">The username or password you entered are not good.</span>';
    echo $message;

Inline css should be avoided if possible. All CSS styling should be gathered in CSS files. – ABC Feb 16 '14 at 14:41
Yes, it should be avoided, I just wrote it here to demonstrate the use. – Chethan N Feb 16 '14 at 14:42

Code you posted is syntactically broken.

For centering in HTML you can use style like this one:

<div style='text-align: center'>Your message</div>

For print text from PHP to HTML output, use echo:

echo $message;

Together:

<div style='text-align: center'><?php echo $message; ?></div>
