[sandbudd]

hey guys how do I change the font style and color...it displays the information fine just need to change color and style.

 

<?php
$query  = "SELECT * FROM washington_description";
$result = mysql_query($query);

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) 
{
    echo "{$row['description']}";
}

?>

Try this.

 

<?php
$query  = "SELECT * FROM washington_description";
$result = mysql_query($query);

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) 
{
    echo "<font face='verdana' color='red'>".$row['description']."</font>";
}

?>

Though I would recommend using Cascading Style Sheets, you can also do this in lieu of more work:

 

<?php
$query  = "SELECT * FROM washington_description";
$result = mysql_query($query);

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) 
{
    echo '<span style="font-family:courier;color:red">' . $row['description'] . '</span>';
}

?> 

 

EDIT: d.shankar, the <font> tag works, but it's been depreciated as of HTML 4 by the W3C because "CSS will be used for absolutely everything."
