access php array elemen in HTML

Question

I have this in php:

'position' => [
			'label' => ['Pic Position', ''],
			'inputType' => 'select',
			#'default' => 'left',
			'options' => [
				'left' => 'Left',
				'right' => 'Right',
			],
		]

now i want if 'Left' is selected, that a class called left is added to a div! I cannot figure out the php syntax for that!

<div class="floating_text" <?php if ($this->position == 'left') echo 'class="left"' ?>>
		<?= $this->text ?>
	</div>

this is clearly wrong!

Print out $this->position and see if it holds left or right. Also, don't add two class=..., add it to the already existing class attribute. Also remember that PHP is serverside so if you want to change that value via a <select> you'd first need to submit the changes or use Javascript to attach that class onChange — user8034901

Move your PHP condition into the existing class= instead of trying to create another instance of class= which is wrong.

<div class="floating_text <?php echo ($this->position == 'left') ? 'left' : '' ?>">
        <?= $this->text ?>
</div>

@kerbholz thanks for the tip!

<div class="floating_text <?php if ($this->position === 'left') echo left ?>">

or I could have also just done this:

	<div class="floating_text <?php echo $this->position ?>">
