Using CSS with PHP

jcuz11

Hello. I haven't been able to find a thread which covers exactly what I'm looking for, so I'm hoping someone can assist me here.

I'm new to PHP, and I'd like to know how you would be able to use CSS within your PHP pages. For example, I'm building a website which has a search function. How can I display the results with the css I have applied to the rest of the sight applied there? Currently, everything displays on the screen in black & white.

Thanks,

Just add your style sheet in the head tags, then ensure that any style classes are added to your search results.

Are you getting results from a db, and outputting them in a table, if so ensure you have the classes set in the results tables.

<style type="text/css">
.myElement { 
font-size: 14px; 
font-family: sans-serif;
color: #003366;
background-color: #DDDDDD;
} 
</style>

<?php 

echo("<span class=\"myElement\">This is CSS formated</span>");

?>

Thanks, guys! I have it working now. Previously, when I tried the HTML tags surrounding the PHP code...

<?php....?>

</body>
</html>

...there were errors. However, at the time I tried it, I had problems with my MySQL query, so the script wasn't working. I guess, I associated that with the HTML tags for some reason. I just added the HTML back on, and everything works fine now.

Thanks for your help.
