Place variable in div id

Question

I want to use an incremental div id, so that all my id are unique, therefore I can use jquery effects to modify them independently.

I hope my question makes sense. If i need to elaborate please let me know.

div id ="name_$id"

Answer 1

Sounds like you already have it.

As a loop:

<?php
    for($i = 0; $i < $some_max_value; $i++){
        echo "<div id=\"name_$id\">stuff</div>";
    }
?>

Answer 2

something like this? You're question isn't very clear, but you can use a loop and give unique ids like so:

for($i=0;$i < 10;$i++;) {
    echo "<div id='idhere_$i'>";
    echo "stuff in the div";
    echo "</div>
}

Answer 3

easy, just use

<div id="name_<?php echo $id; ?>"> 
     content 
</div>

Answer 4

Ok maybe I have to be more clear about my question.

Here are two divs with same id.

 <div id="comment">
  </div>
  <div id="comment">
  </div>

I want the id of the two divs to be comment1, and comment2. But automatically.

So I know I will need for example , $i to accompany comment, like comment_$i

I also know that I will have to increment i++ after each div displayed.

I hope I am more clear.

Answer 5

No worries, I found a great tutorial on http://www.adipalaz.com/experiments/jquery/expand.html

It was the expand/collapse all that i was after.
