How to make a row bold

[GregF]

Hey everyone

 

Just wondering if any of you can point me in the right direction.

 

I have created a table that displays the content from a database.

I have also created a form that posts to the database.

 

On this form I have a checkbox. 

 

I have set a column in phpmyadmin table to enum '1','0' (feel free to tell me if this is wrong - i'm a newbie)

 

What I want to do is, if the value is set to one, then the content of the table row <tr> is to be displayed in bold.

 

I have searched around and tried to piec the code together but am having no luck.

 

Just wondering if anyone could assist??

 

Many thaks in advance

Add a CSS rule to the <tr> in case it should be bold, like this:

<tr style="font-weight: bold;">

But if you plan to style your stuff more later on, read up on CSS and create classes in .css files instead.

So you have the content from the database... now set a variable that triggers either an inline style or a class. Something like this

 

 

//this says if your checkbox is 1 then $boldMe has the style, if it is 0 it has an empty string
$boldMe = $db_data['yourcheckboxfield'] ? " style='font-weight:bold;'" : '';
 
//then in your td tag
'<td'.$boldMe.'>

 

Of course this is just a simple example but hopefully you get the idea. You just need to use a variable that checks what the value of the checkbox is and then inserts either a class, a style, or the full style string to bold the text.
