PHP problem when using Gutenberg CUSTOM HTML block
-
The following PHP doesn’t work correctly in the CUSTOM HTML block ..
<?php
$txtstring = “<div>whatever” . “</div>“;
print $txtstring;
?>
However when I use
$txtstring = “<div>whatever</div>”;
it works perfectly.
It must be something to do with the concatenation of strings within a CUSTOM HTML code block. This is a simplification as I need to concatenate several strings

Thanks for the reply. I want the user of the page, to type in input data and then do a database table query on the server and display the result on the website. The database table is not the standard posts etc. of which there many examples. It is a table with scheduled time slots, so it is not part of the WordPress database structure. In other words, the database table could be any available resource. At this stage, it is a lookup only. Maybe later it could be a booking and reservation of a resource i.e. update of the “external” database. Maybe a plugin would be my solution? Strange enough, the PHP code works for returning a literal constant, to the Custom code block (referring to “
<div>whatever</div>” ).
