Using CSS to adjust php

[davemcc]

Hello

 

I am very much new to this, I have the following prob i cant seem to work out.

 

I display a .txt file via php but i cant adjust the font etc. via CSS.

 

This is the site im working on and the php used...

From the link you supplied I see you are using the following code to grab the news from text file:

<?php
lines = file("news.txt");
foreach($lines as $ln) {
  echo "$ln<br />";
}
?>

 

You'll want to wrap that code in some div tags and then give the div an id of news. That way you can then style the text how you

want it to display.

 

Example Code:

<style type="text/css">
#news { color: #F00;
border: 2px solid #333;
padding: 10px;
font: 12px Arial; }
</style>

<div id="news">
<?php
$lines = file("news.txt");
foreach($lines as $ln) {
  echo "$ln<br />";
}
?></div>

Thanks for that!

 

I can now alter text but the border still remains...

 

I am doinhg this for a Community Centre website. I basically want to display .txt files in divs, borderless but be able to constrain the width the txt is diplayed at.

 

Any help would be great as im a bit lost!

 

Thanks

Well just set the width you want the div to be in order to constrain the text.

 

Add:

width: 300px;

To the #news style in your CSS. This will make the news text only take up 300 pixels of the page
