Displaying text with varibles !!

[popcop]

im havin a problem with displaying some text with data from the database

 

the text on my page should display like this example :

 

John Smith thinks that this will happen on Wednesday 14th August 2011

 

 

this is the code i have

  echo "<tr class='$class'>";

  echo "<td>" . $row['firstname'] . . $row['firstname'] . "thinks that this will happen on " . $row['date'] . "</td>";

  echo "</tr>";

 

hope you can help

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?

thats seems to have worked

 

how would i give a class to the date varible so that i can stlye it differently??

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
