Add an area to a div in the view.php

Permalink
For design purposes I'm having the content block print 3 divs. The top and bottom are for decoration, and the middle for content. Problem is when I add content to the middle div it adds it to the top and bottom one.
How can I add an area to .content-block itself? I'm new to this, so any help will be appreciated. This is what I have in the view.
<?php 
   defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied.");
   $content = $controller->getContent();
   print '<div class="content-block-header">';
   print '</div>';
   print '<div class="content-block">';
   print $content;
   print '</div>';
   print '<div class="content-block-footer">';
   print '</div>';
?>
