cunoodle2 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 What error messages, if any are you getting? Here is how You could try formatting the code if you like.. echo '<tr class="$class">'; echo "<td>".$row["firstname"]." ".$row["firstname"]." thinks that this will happen on ".$row["date"]."</td>"; echo "</tr>"; Does that work?

AyKay47 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 you can either style the <td> that it's inside of, or if you want it to have a unique style, you can wrap it inside of a <span> tag and customize the <span> css Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/243414-displaying-text-with-varibles/#findComment-1249995 Share on other sites More sharing options...
