Specific Text for Call...

Odublar

So, I basically want a special text around $an[0] because when you input <?=$Memberamount?> it doesn't do the wanted text. Now I could change the default text properties but that is not want I need. I'd do a search, however, I wouldn't know what descriptions I would look for in this specific instances. I've tested some thoughts out, and figured out how to add table properties, but the text part is baffling me. Is this possible to add text properties....this is what it looks like,

$Memberamount = "\n\t<tr>\n\t<td><img src=\"images/memberamounttotal.gif\" border=\"0\">$an[0]</td>\n</tr>\n";

this is what I want the output to resemble...

<tr height="15" >
<td height="15">
<div align="left" valign="center"><font color="#FFFFFF"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">

<img src="http://www.humorzilla.com/images/memberamounttotal.gif"><b><?=$Memberamount?></b></font></font></div>
</tr>

So, if I understand you correctly, you want $an[0] to contain the string "<?=$Memberamount?>"

So, why don't you just assign it?

$an[0]="<?=$Memberamount?>";

If your problem is that when you try and use the $Memberamount variable, you get inconsistent results?

Try removing the = sign from the statement <?=$Memberamount?> to get <? $Memberamount ?>

negative...lol...let me explain further....the reason for $an[0] to become $Memberamount, is to add this variable only if the member is logged in.....therefore, when inserting the code, <?=$Memberamount?> into the appropriate spot, you can't have outside variables, so when the member is logged in, they don't see the table with missing info. The idea is to negate the call when the member is not logged in...therefore the code looks like this....

if(isset($SESSION[username]))
{
//get member's items (jokes)
$qn2 = "select count(*) from dd_items where Contributor = '$SESSION[username]' ";
$rn2 = mysql_query($qn2) or die(mysql_error());
$an2 = mysql_fetch_array($rn2);
$Memberamount = "\n\t<tr>\n\t<td><img src=\"images/submissionstotal.gif\" border=\"0\">$an[0]</td>\n</tr>\n";
}
else
{
$Memberamount = "";

}

What I am trying to do, is simply make sure the variable, $an[0] has the right font attributes so it doesn't look out of place, as surrounding the tag <?=$Memberamount?> or even <?=$an[0]?> doesn't apply to the called.

Hope that is understandable (BP)

let me know, and thanks for the response.

ok, I figured it out, if you need an example for editing the outcome of a specific text output, look at this.....

$Memberamount = "\n\t<tr>\n\t<td>\n\t<b>\n\t<font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">\n\t<font size=\"1\">\n\t<img src=\"images/submissionstotal.gif\" border=\"0\"> $an[0]</font>\n</font>\n</b>\n</td>\n</tr>\n";

hope this helps some people, I've figured out that without certain tags like \n\t and \n will not show certain aspects particularly the text I was looking to change....
