Echo Question

[182x]

Hey guys, I have a rather large php scipt and it displays information if a file already exists in the database but it looks out of place compared to the rest of the page. So i was just wondering is there anyway I can change the font and alignment when displaying the information with the echo command?

Thanks for any advice.

Within the echo command you can include html like below:

echo "<p class='mystyle'>".$myvar."</p>";

Alternatively you can be working with html and use:

html code <?php echo $myvar; ?> more html code

Thanks for the quick replay I can't seem to get this to work, any suggestions?

 echo "<p align="center" class="style6">" This is a test. "</p>";

[jignesh1]

the reason it doesnt work like that cuz u suppose to have the escape quote with backslash

echo "<p align=\"center\" class=\"style6\">This is a test. </p>";

try and see if it works

[themanwhowas]

or replace the the quotes at the beginning and end of the php code with apostraphies

echo '<p align="center" class="style6">This is a test. </p>';

Themanwhowas is correct, however you can also do it the other way round with single quotes around the html as I used in my first posting.

echo "<p class='mystyle'>".$myvar."</p>";

With DOUBLE quotes (NOT single quotes), you can put variables INSIDE the quotes...

echo "<p class='mystyle'>$myvar</p>";

Which is a bit simpler than what wrote Blulagoon...

Or this one, right

<?= $myvar ?>

Only if short_open_tag is set to TRUE in the PHP config. Since this is dependent on a configuration that is not only deprecated by most but also disabled by some hosts, I wouldn't necessiarly recommend ever using the short_tag styles ('<?=' or '<?').
