Define new div in .php file and a variable in it

[suraty]

Hello,
I am a beginner.

I want to define a div tag in the defaul.php file of productdetails page with a variable in it. Then it makes it possible to set the value of the variable.
Something like this:

<div>
<p>  the variable </p>
</div>


Is it possible to define such HTML codes?
How can I define and set that variable value?

Please help me step by step. Thanks.

Joomla version = 3

Yes that is how most of the php works for display.

What we need to know is what this new variable is meant to contain - you declare and set the value of the variable and then display it.

$mynewvariable = need to know what you want this variable to be;

<div>
<p>
<?php
  echo $mynewvariable;
?>
</p>
</div>

Thank you very much for your help.

You mentioned in codes:

Code Select Expand

$mynewvariable = need to know what you want this variable to be;

Can you describe more with an example?

If I want to change this variable for any product apart, how should I define and set the variable value for every product?

Thank you

Take another approach, make a custom field.

You need to tell us what you expect to be in this variable

If the "variable" is same for all products, and only need to be changed by language you can use.
<div><?php echo jtext::_('product_explain'); ?></div>

IN Joomla language overides, you define a new KEY
product_explain
and add your content so you can change this value any time after.
If you need to set this by product then you need to create a new product custom field
Then you add this code at the position you want display this field
<?php echo shopFunctionsF::renderVmSubLayout('customfields',array('product'=>$this->product,'position'=>'explain')); ?>
In your product customfield you fill the field "position" : "explain"
