Simplify To Add CSS

[justlukeyou]

My site is almost ready but I cant fit CSS to this code.  Is there anyway I can simplify it.

 

Something like this would be great.

 

<div class="discountborder">Save <?php echo $row['discount']; ?>%<br /></div></div>

 

 

foreach($results as $result){
echo "<p><a href='/products/product.php?product_id=".$result['product_id']." 'class='productlink'' 'rel='nofollow''>".$result['name']."</a> 
<a href='/products/product.php?product_id='".$result['product_id']."><img src='".$result['image_link']."'/> </a>
<br>£".$result['rrp']."
<br>Save ".$result['discount']."%
</p>";

Sorry, what exactly is the problem?

[justlukeyou]

Hi,

 

I cant fit any CSS around this code so I am trying to simplify so I can just echo the columns inside their own PHP tags.

[trq]

Still, I have no idea what your talking about.

[justlukeyou]

I cant add CSS to the above code.  Is it possible to do it like this...

 

 

<div class="productrangeborder">

<div class="productsdetailsborder"><a href="product.php?product_id=<?php echo $row['product_id']; ?>" class='productlink' rel="nofollow" ><?php echo $row['name']; ?></a></div>


<div class="productimageborder"><a href="product.php?product_id=<?php echo $row['product_id']; ?>" rel="nofollow"><img src="<?php echo $row['image_link']; ?>"/></a></div>



<div class="priceborder">Price £<?php echo $row['rrp']; ?><br /></div><div class="discountborder">Save <?php echo $row['discount']; ?>%<br /></div></div>

[trq]

Is it possible to do it like this...

 

You just did.

[justlukeyou]

But that doesn't work because it is only echo the row, not the result.

 

How do I say echo $result['product_id'] because that doesn't work.

[trq]

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR ISSUE.

[justlukeyou]

I cant fit CSS around this code because it has these tag "' '"

 

I cant pit the result inside its own PHP tags.

 

hp?product_id='".$result['product_id']."><img src='".$res

[litebearer]

show us the code where are you creating the $result[] array

[justlukeyou]

 

 

 

<?php
if (isset($_POST['keywords'])){
$keywords = mysql_real_escape_string (htmlentities(trim($_POST['keywords'])));
}

$errors = array();

$results = null;

if (empty($keywords)) {
$errors[] = 'Please enter a search term';
} else if (strlen($keywords)<3) {
$errors[] = 'Your search must be three or more characters';
} else if (($results = search_results($keywords)) === false) {
$errors[] = 'Your search for "'.$keywords.'" returned no results.  Please enter another search.';
}

if (empty($errors))  {
foreach($errors as $error) {
echo $error, '</br>';
}

$results = search_results($keywords);
$results_num = count($results);

echo '<p>Your search for <strong>', $keywords, '</strong> returned <strong>', $results_num, '</strong> results.</p>';

foreach($results as $result){
echo "<p><a href='/products/product.php?product_id=".$result['product_id']." 'class='productlink'' 'rel='nofollow''>".$result['name']."</a> 
<a href='/products/product.php?product_id='".$result['product_id']."><img src='".$result['image_link']."'/> </a>
<br>£".$result['rrp']."
<br>Save ".$result['discount']."%
</p>";

}

} else {
foreach($errors as $error) {
echo $error, '</br>';
}
}
    ?>

<?php
function search_results ($keywords) {
$returned_results = array();
$where = "";

$keywords = preg_split('/[\s]+/', $keywords);
$total_keywords = count($keywords);

foreach($keywords as $key=>$keyword) {
$where .= "`name` LIKE '%$keyword%'";
if ($key != ($total_keywords - 1)) {
$where .= " AND ";

}
}

$results = "SELECT `name`, `description`, `product_id`, `rrp`, `discount`, `image_link`  FROM `productdbase` WHERE $where";



$results_num = ($results = mysql_query($results)) ? mysql_num_rows($results) : 0;


if ($results_num === 0) {
return false;
}else{

while ($results_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results)) {

$returned_results[] = array(
                    'product_id' => $results_row['product_id'],
		        'image_link' => $results_row['image_link'],
				'rrp' => $results_row['rrp'],
			    'name' => $results_row['name'],
			    'discount' => $results_row['discount'],
                                   'description' => $results_row['description'],
);

}

return $returned_results;

}
}
?>

Do you know what CSS is?

[justlukeyou]

What is that supposed to mean?

 

Does anyone know how to make this easier to use?

How do I say echo $result['product_id'] because that doesn't work.

 

$result['product_id'] isn't returning a value? So you have a php problem not a css problem .... ??

[justlukeyou]

It is returning a Value.  I am trying to add CSS to display it better.

 

But I cant get the CSS around it.  I need to simply the code so it works something like this.

 

<div class="discountborder"> <?php echo '".$result['product_id']."; ?></div>

[justlukeyou]

Hi,

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do.  On it's own the PHP code works fine but I am unable to seperate it out so I can style it.

 

The stress is almost making me ill!

CSS is for stylizing your HTML.  PHP produces HTML.  You can style every element (to a degree) of HTML, usually with an external stylesheet called a... (wait for it) .CSS file - or inline inside <style></style> deliminators.

 

If you want to style that snippet above, you'd style it by either the <DIV> or the class (.discountborder).

 

And there's no reason to do what you're doing to that output. 

<?php echo $result['product_id']; ?>

 

You've a lot to learn, young Jedi - primarily how to ask a question.

[justlukeyou]

But when I try to seperate it out like it doesn't work. I have other code as above I have separated out and it works fine but with this whenever I place it in it's PHP tags and introduce CSS it reads the CSS as interfering.

 

Is their a correct way to seperate it out.  I've tried using different variations of curly tags but it still reads the CSS.

[trq]

Why not post your code that isn't working then?

[Jessica]

This may be the most hysterical thread I've read in a while.

 

<?php 
echo '<div class="discountborder">'.$result['product_id'].'</div>'; 
?>

 

Look at this and figure out WHY it works before just copying and pasting it into your code.

[justlukeyou]

Sorted thanks.

 

Now I can see how it works its much easier to understand.

 

At the end of the day Im delighted how things have gone, in almost 4 weeks Ive made a convincing database driven sales website.

 

If someone told me 4 weeks ago I am wher I am now I would have ripped their hand off.

 

Now I just have some pieces to finish off and I should be there

[ignace]

You can't get the CSS around it? You know that CSS is:

 

body { font-family: Arial; }

 

right?

[ignace]

nevermind

No wonder people do not encourage you!
