Help with this code (making title a link)

[dcart]

I have the following code and I would like the title to be a link not only the "Read.." section but I can't seem to get it work. Is it doable? Thank you in advance!

{
echo "<b>";
printf($therow["title"]);
echo "</b><br><i>";
printf($therow["date"]);
echo "</i><br>";
printf($therow["summary"]);
echo "<br><a href=\"$PHP_SELF?id=";
printf($therow["id"]);
echo "\">Read</a>...";
echo "<br><br>";
}

OK, what do you want to use as link title?
Let's say you have a field called "title":

[code]echo "<a href='$PHP_SELF?id=$therow[id]'>Read $therow[title]</a>...";[/code]

Thank you for such a prompt asnwer!

I'm sorry for not being too detailed, I'm really clueless with PhP. I wanted the title to have the same link as the "Read.." Is that what the code you just gave me will do? The title is a title of an article.

Thank you!

One more question, how can make that title to be a certain color? (different than everything else on the site)

Thank you!

echo "<a href='$PHP_SELF?id=$therow[id]'>$therow[title]</a>...";

I'd need to know how this title is stored in the database or whatever it is its storing method to give you an answer.

Anyways... To change it's color, you must use normal HTML/CSS, like:

<a style="color: white"...

The code for title that you gave me works very nicely, it displays exactly what I wanted. As to the color, can I use the folowing? (I would like to use a color numbe #660000)

echo "<a style="color: #660000" href='$PHP_SELF?id=$therow[id]'>Read $therow[title]</a>...";

Thank you so much for your help!

[poirot]

[code]echo "<a style='color: #660000' href='$PHP_SELF?id=$therow[id]'>Read $therow[title]</a>...";[/code]

or

[code]echo "<a style=\"color: #660000\" href='$PHP_SELF?id=$therow[id]'>Read $therow[title]</a>...";[/code]

[dcart]

awesome! Thank you! I hate to do this again but what about making the title bigger. How can I change the font size?

[poirot]

[code]"<a style=\"color: #660000\" href='$PHP_SELF?id=$therow[id]'>Read $therow[title]</a>...";[/code]

to

[code]"<a style=\"color: #660000; font-size: 15pt\" href='$PHP_SELF?id=$therow[id]'>Read $therow[title]</a>...";[/code]

Will set the font-size to 15pt
