Color Help Please

[jokerfool]

Using the following line n php how do I highlight the word "Hello" into the color red?

 

echo "Hello: " . $addr . "<br />\n";

 

Thank you

I'm guessing you're after something like:

 

echo '<span style="color:red;">Hello</span>: ' . $addr . '<br />' . "\n";

 

..?

echo '<span style="color:red">Hello</span>: ' . $addr . "<br />\n";

Thank you. One last question, how do I echo the output of a text file to the same screen ?

Look into file_get_contents..

Trying to use this:

 

?>
<?php
$homepage = file_get_contents('text.txt');
echo $homepage;
?>

 

Doesnt seem to be working, is there something im missing?

Is text.txt in the same directory as this php file? Why do you close your php tag and reopen it on next line?

You got a good point there, I changed that, anyways it doesnt give me an error, just doesnt display the outputted file results, the text file is in the same directory.

 

I changed it to this:

 

$myFile = "text.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');
echo $myFile;

I just tested this:

$test = file_get_contents('test.txt');
echo $test;

 

With a test.txt in the same directory with the word test inside it. The word was echoed without a problem. I did the test cause I never work with txt files so I wanted to be sure. Either it's not in the same directory, your file name is wrong, or there isn't anything in the txt file.

Okay I got some success going here and have successfully outputted the text file, but the text file reads like one long line into the next, is it possible to seperate into columns?

HTML is a free-form language, in that it doesn't preserve whitespace by default. To force it to preserve it you can rap the text in a <pre> tag, or apply white-space:pre; to the wrapper element's CSS... Assuming you meant to preserve tab characters and the like?
