<table width="262" border="0" >
<tr>
<td width="249" height="54" valign="bottom" align="center">

<?php		
include('stats.php');
	echo "<p class="stat">Sold: $stat1 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Done: $stat2</P>";
?>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

and i got this in the head part:

<?php include('stats.php') ?>

no need to post everything because the rest is html. i basically just need to know how to combine CSS classes with php.

Don't know if you solved it, but on a quick-glance I noticed that you have something like this:

<?php
echo "<p class="stat">Sold: $stat1 &nbsp; Done: $stat2 </p>;" // semi-colon inside quotes
?>

But you are not escaping the double-quotes. And your semi-colon is inside of the quote-marks.

So, one fix would be this:

<?php
// escape the double quotes
echo "<p class=\"stat\">Sold: $stat1 &nbsp; Done: $stat2 </p>"; // semi-colon after quotes
?>

Notice the use of the backslash \ character to escape the double-quotes within the echo statement. It tells php to render the quotes rather than consider them the end of the echo statement.

ANother way is to use single-quotes:

<?php
// use single quotes and concatenate:
echo '<p class="stat">Sold: ' . $stat1 . ' &nbsp; Done: ' . $stat2 . ' </p>';
?>

like a charm as you might have expected. your learnings will echo in eternity (at least for me), thanks =)
