CSS Styling PHP Output

cswales

I query mysql and output to a table:

print "The following Properties were found and are listed $limit per page.";
print "<TABLE WIDTH=\"100%\" \"0\" CELLPADDING=\"2\" CELLSPACING=\"1\" BGCOLOR=\"#CCCCCC\"><TR VALIGN=\"MIDDLE\">
<TD BGCOLOR=\"#F3F3F3\" VALIGN=\"MIDDLE\" ALIGN=\"CENTER\" WIDTH=\"75\"><a href=\"?SortBy=$OB_PROPERTYREF\">Ref</a></TD>
<TD BGCOLOR=\"#F3F3F3\" VALIGN=\"MIDDLE\" ALIGN=\"CENTER\"><a href=\"?SortBy=$PROPERTYTYPE\">Type</a></TD>

I have a "text" style in my css style sheet. no matter what I have tried it will just not assign the style to the above.

Does anyone have any tips?

Well you have to link the style sheet to the page:

<link href="CSS/index.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

And also your not tell neither the table nor the text to use any style in your code.

Here is an example of how this would look:

<link href="CSS/index.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<table width="200" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr class="review">
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr class="error">
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>

When you say you have a "text" style in your CSS, what exactly do you mean?

I don't see one single style being used in your example cswales. Also a "text" style is just the name I am guessing. Use what Vbabiy showed, that would work fine. Also think about not having PHP write all the HTML for you. Only use PHP when it is needed. Such as:

<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo "$title"; ?></title>
</head>
<body>
<div class='text'>The following Properties were found and are listed <strong><?php echo "$limit"; ?></strong> per page.</div>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class='text'>
<tr>
   <td>This is the output from the database.</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

See ... you can use PHP wherever you want. Don't have print(), echo(), sprint(), or anything else do all the work that a normal browser can do. Just have PHP wherever PHP is needed. It will make troubleshooting way much easier for design issues!

Keep going, your doing fine.
