Text formatting in ECHO

[okrobie]

Hello, I'm having trouble formatting the variables in this snippet. As you can see, I can format the first part of the text. Can someone please help?

{ 
echo ("<h3>Teachers Name: </h3>" . $row["first_name"]);
echo (" " . $row["last_name"]."<br>"."<br>");
echo nl2br("<h3>Teachers Message: </h3>" . $row["teacher"]."<br>"."<br>");
}

You haven't exactly described the problem.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I want to format the text that is output from the ECHO statement but I can only format the fixed part of the output. The variables come out in the default font. How do I format the output of the variables?

Assuming you want them to be within the <h3> tags, you just need to place them within those tags.

 

echo "<h3>Teachers Name:" . $row["first_name"] . "</h3>";
echo $row["last_name"] . "<br /><br />";
echo nl2br("<h3>Teachers Message: " . $row["teacher"] . "</h3><br /><br />");

Thanks Thorpe, I appreciate your help.  That is a good start, but actually I want the variables in h4 instead.

So put them with <h4> tags.

Thank you, I was able to get it from what you gave me.

{ 
echo ("<h3>Teachers Name: </h3>" . "<h4>" . $row["first_name"] . "</h4>");
echo (" " . "<h4>" . $row["last_name"] ."</h4>" . "<br>"."<br>");
echo nl2br("<h3>Teachers Message: </h3>" . $row["teacher"]."<br>"."<br>");
}

echo does not require () braces, your also overdoing the concatenation. Your code could be simplified quite a bit.

 

echo "<h3>Teachers Name: </h3><h4>" . $row["first_name"] . "</h4>";
echo "<h4>" . $row["last_name"] . "</h4><br><br>";
echo "<h3>Teachers Message: </h3>" . nl2br($row["teacher"]) . "<br><br>";
