[RESOLVED] Simple function not working?

[scottpoliseno]

I have copied this verbatim from a book... (except for the error functions I added per some great suggestions from this site)

<?php
ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );
error_reporting(E_ALL);

function fontwrap($txt, $size) {
echo "<font size=\"$size\"
face=\"Helvetica, Arial, Sans-Serif\">
$txt</font>";
}

fontwrap("A heading<br>",5);
fontwrap("some body text<br>,3);
fontwrap("some more body text<br>",3);
fontwrap("yet even more body text<br>",3);

?>

I am getting a blank screen... ???

Am I missing a semicolon or something stupid like that?

Thanks,

Scott

You left out a quote at the end of the text in the second call to your function:

fontwrap("some body text<br>[color=red]"[/color],3);

PS: While it's fine to learn PHP using that function, note that using the <font> tag is deprecated and should be replaced with the use of CSS styling (and <span> or other applicable HTML tags as needed).

Ahhh I new I missed something...

As far as the specific content of the tutorial is not really applicable and I don't believe it is meant that way. Yes you are right... I have a strong skill with HTML & CSS as well as Javascript...

Thanks for the heads-up!
