How to color code certain words of PHP database output?

[vbcoach]

Hello.  Racking my brains here, having trouble with this.  Running a sports league, trying to get the output of one variable at a different font color OR insert a simple check mark graphic.  Either way I am stuck.  I am a bit out of practice here.

 

Here is the code.  Where is says echo (  Locked) is where I would like to either have locked in a color, say green or red - or insert check mark symbol.

<?php
	$last  = -1;
        while($team = mssql_fetch_assoc($res))
	{
	  if ($last  != $team['l_id'])
	  {
	    $last  = $team['l_id'];
		echo "<br><span class=\"dk_greyTxt\" style=\"font-size: 14px\"><strong>$team[night] night, $team[type] $team[size]s $team[division]</strong></span><br><br>";
	  }
	  echo "<strong>$team[teamname] - ($team[shirtcolor] shirts)</strong><br>  RegDate: $team[reg_start]<br>RegDone: $team[reg_done]";
	  $cpt = mssql_query("SELECT firstname, lastname, shirtsize, feepaid, feememo FROM captain WHERE c_id = $team[captain]",$conn);
	  $c = mssql_fetch_assoc($cpt);
	  
	  if($team["locked"] == 1)
	  {
	  		echo "  (Locked)";
	  }
	  else
	  {
	  		echo " ";
	  }	
	  echo "<br>";

just wrap the echoed output in a span tag with a css class attached or inline style defination

Ok, I understand that.  but when I tried, I received an error.  Do I wrap it inside the quotes?

Can you give me an example please?

Thanks a bunch

echo "<span class='something'>(locked)<span>";

echo "<span style='color:red;'>(locked)<span>";

UNFORTUNATELY, no working

 

	  if($team["locked"] == 1)
	  {
	  		echo "<span style='color:red;'>(locked)</span>";
	  else
	  {
	  		echo " ";
	  }	
	  echo "<br>";

 

I get this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ELSE in E:\... php on line 61

Ok, reloaded the code, now works BUT ***EVERYTHING*** past is now in red.  I only wanted the results "(Locked)" to be in red.  Nothing else.

 

Were getting close.  Help?

[spiderwell]

this is no longer a php issue, lol

 

the red should only effect the spanned text.

 

can you post all the relevant code

FIXED!  Just needed to do a </span> and I now have what I needed!

Thanks for the refresher team!

Much appreciated!
