replace font color

[Anon]

i have a script that gets stock market stats from yahoo, anyway i would like to change the font color to suit weather its a + or - value, eg: + = green , - = red.
ive found where the output for the column is but dont understand it enough to go further... (i put in the .$fontcolor. been playing with it from there.)

$content .= "<font color=\".$fontcolor.\">";

$content .= trim($read[4]);

/*
$positive_condition = + (or positive change in price)

$negative_condition = - (or negative change in price)
*/

if($positive_condition)
{
echo "<font color="green">;
}

if($negative_condition)
{
echo "<font color="red">";
}

echo "(Value variable Here)";
/
I would really need to see some more code to specifically address your issue, but this might help.....🙂 Best of luck.

Ooops....it read HTML...
Replace < and > to open and close font tags
/

/*
$positive_condition = + (or positive change in price)

$negative_condition = - (or negative change in price)
*/

if($positive_condition)
{
echo "FONT COLOR=GREEN";
}

if($negative_condition)
{
echo "FONT COLOR=RED";
}

echo "(Value variable Here)";

I have found that font tags are read by the page and used instead of being displayed as raw code, its a pain.

this is what ive been trying to do, but no luck it comes back with a parse error on the first line, but will it work set out like this?

$fontcolor = if($read[4] > 0) { echo "#00cc33"; } else { if($read[4] < 0) echo "#ff0000";
{

==============================

.= "<font color=\".$fontcolor.\">";

.= trim($read[4]);

Try

$fontcolor = $read[4] > 0 ? "#00cc33" : "#ff0000";

it just made them all 'green' #00cc33 but it least there is no parse error... gives me something to go with....

//changes text color to suit result( + or - )

{
	$fontcolor = "(";
	  if($read[4] < 0) {

		$fontcolor = "#FF0000";

	} else if($read[4] > 0) {

		$fontcolor = "00cc33";

	} else {

		$fontcolor = "000000";

		$fontcolor = ")";
	  }
