I'm trying to display an html <div> based on the state of a variable set during php execution . The variable is $chk and is set to either 0 or 1 with 0 meaning failed and 1 meaning  pass. Here's the code:

if <?php echo "{$chk}";?> == 0
  <div class="container">
      <div class="row" style="color:red">
        <br><br><br><br><br><br>  
        <center>Database Update Failed</center>
      </div>
  </div>

else
  <div class="container">
      <div class="row">
        <br><br><br><br><br><br>  
        <center>Database Updated</center>
      </div>
  </div>

 Both of the <div>'s display after the completion of the php instead of the one based on the $chk variable. I've tried several ways to get the value of $chk but neither print_r nor echo seem to work. $chk is set to 0 at the start of the php execution.

Thanks in advance, Larry
