PHP BASIC HELP

[bobk]

just wondering how some1 would edit php code for text's ?

 

example :

 

print "Your email has been removed from our mailing list. ";

 

 

how would i make it print it in a diffrent color.

 

as if i add some html in between the " " it doesnt work  ?

 

print "<font color="#ffffff">Your email<br /> has been removed from our mailing list. </font>";

 

 

bascailly its coming out in black font, but i want it in white.

and no html/css i can think of will edit it . as its in a php file.

 

 

thanks.

The reason it doesn't work is apparent when you use syntax highlighting:

 

<?php
print "<font color="#ffffff">Your email<br /> has been removed from our mailing list. </font>";

 

You have to escape those inner quotes with a backslash or you could just use single quotes on the outside since there are no variables in the string.

 

<?php
print '<font color="#ffffff">Your email<br /> has been removed from our mailing list. </font>';

ahah! alot of people use " " aswell.  =\ and sometimes like the break tag in html works,

 

thanks tho, works good

Escaping them would look like:

print "<font color=\"#ffffff\">Your email<br /> has been removed from our mailing list. </font>";

I prefer using double quotes for the string and single quotes for the attributes.

 

Reason being, it's a good practice if you need variables to interpolate in the string, as generic mentioned.
