[RESOLVED] 2 questions

richei

I'm really new to php when it comes to actual formatting.

This is the table i need to layout in php : http://www.firearms2mod.com/richei/updates/

i've already made the menu, header and footer files. I just dont' know how to do to tables.

2nd question, how do i import style sheets into a php file?

I'm a complete noob, so be gentle 🙂

You lay out tables, include stylesheets, and anything else that's just HTML the same way you would in a HTML file. The only difference is you might be using PHP to define certain dynamic value, or to iterate through data such as that returned from a database query to generate HTML list items, paragraphs, or table rows. Rember that whatever is output by the PHP file is what gets sent to the browser; so if you output valid HTML markup, that's what the browser will receive and process just as if it were a "normal" .html file.

So for what i'm doing there, regular html with the php values would work just fine?

Yes. For instance, if the specific CSS file you want to use based on some program logic is in the variable $cssFile, then you could do the following:

<?php
$cssFile = "example.css";
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $cssFile; ?>">
</head>

Or if you prefer:

<?php
$cssFile = "example.css";
// use herdoc string to echo output:
echo <<<EOD
<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="$cssFile">
</head>
EOD;

// and so forth....
?>
