[SOLVED] change link color in php

[dsaba]

i'm making a search cloud page, where the latest keywords that have been searched are listed in a table

it pulls this information from my database

 

now I want to change the color of the link depending on their serach count for example

 

keyword > 100 counts - make the link green

keyword <100 counts make the link blue

 

is there a way to do this in php?

 

also i realize that you can use css to change link colors in a page, but I don't know how to use css to specifically change only certain links, and make those certain colors

 

 

thanks

<?php
$number = //however you want to get your resutls, I believe you should use mysql_count_rows()
if ($number > 100) {echo "<a href=\"http://\"><font color=\"#66CD00\">Link</font></a>";}
else {echo "<a href=\"http://\"><font color=\"#007FFF\">Link</font></a>";}
?>

i am using css to define all links in all of my pages already, the search cloud page would also have these css rules

 

would the css not overwrite the html I specify for a link color with that php code?

[ted_chou12]

no, css dont overwirte html. however, if you wish to use css to do this, please do post your css code as well.

thank you very much you told me what i needed to know

 

really my problem was this:

how to change link color specifically in html, that css doesn't overwrite, and you told me that

You can try something like this:

 

<?php
$link_color = ($keyword < 100)?'lime':'lightblue';
echo '<a style="color:' . $link_color . '" href="you.link.here">text</a>';
?>
