Csn I use css on them somehow or do i need to use php only. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/22731-php-in-html/#findComment-102840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidian Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 you can use CSS, javascript or any other client side technology on them after they've been retrieved via PHP. keep in mind that the browser [i]only sees[/i] what PHP feeds it, so when you generate your markup, just output classes and IDs as you want them to be for your CSS layout.
