Adding PHP to a DIV

    This might be a stupid question but I just can’t figure it out. I want to add some PHP to a DIV inside my custom theme. Everytime I add the code inside a DIV it jumps out.

    Link to page:
    http://reinowo58.fiftyeight.axc.nl/hoe/

    As you can see on the right side there are 2 divs. I added a piece of PHP to the container that grabs the latest post. But it appears outside the DIV.

    This is the code:

    <div style="width: 250px; height: 325px; background-color: #ebecec; border-radius: 25px; padding: 25px;">
<div style="width: 170px; height: 40px; background-color: #fb3099; border-radius: 18px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;">
<h2 style="padding-top: 14px;">NIEUWS</h2>
</div>
[insert_php] query_posts('showposts=1'); [/insert_php]
[insert_php] while (have_posts()) : the_post(); [/insert_php]
[insert_php] endwhile;[/insert_php]

</div>

    As you can see on the page the text is on the bottom of the page instead of inside the DIV. Please help me out with this one.

    Hi,

    Two things.

    1.
    For a theme template, use regular PHP with its start-end tags <?php and ?> instead of Insert PHP with its [insert_php] and [/insert_php] tags. Use Insert PHP only for posts and pages.

    2.
    For future reference, if you do decide to use Insert PHP within your posts and pages, read the
    http://www.willmaster.com/software/WPplugins/insert-php-wordpress-plugin-instructions.php
    page for special things to look out for. As an example, the way you have it in your theme template wouldn’t work in a post or page because all the code would need to be within one set of [insert_php] … [/insert_php] tags, not broken up into three sets.

    Have a wonderful June!

    Will
