Help chaning echo $ color

miafodder

Hi below is a section on my code

$Clanname = $r["Clanname"];

$Date = $r["Date"];

$Type = $r["Type"];

$Score = $r["Score"];

$Outcome = $r["Outcome"];

$Map1 = $r["Map1"];

$Map2 = $r["Map2"];

<td width="90"><div align="center"><? echo"$Clantags";?></div></td>

<td width="90"><div align="center"><? echo"$Clanname";?></div></td>

<td width="121" height="22"><div align="center"><? echo"$Date";?></div></td>

<td width="133"><div align="center"><? echo"$Type";?></div></td>

<td width="108"><div align="center">

if ($Outcome=="Win")

        echo '<font color="#33FF00"> $Score </font>';

        elseif ($Outcome=="Lost")

echo '<font color="#FF0000"> $Score </font>';

                    else

        echo '<font color="#CCCCCC"> $Score </font>';

The above is driving me mad. I want is to output the $Score entry from the database in a certain colour depending on what $Outcome is.

At the moment all it does is show the word $Score in green, red or grey based on $Outcome. The bit of code below works fine cause I am just using words. Just the above that is driving mad, can’t seem to work out

How to get it to change the echo output colour

Regards

</div></td>

<td width="97"><div align="center">

if ($Outcome=="Win")

        echo '<font color="#33FF00"> Win </font>';

        elseif ($Outcome=="Lost")

echo '<font color="#FF0000"> Lost </font>';

                    else

        echo '<font color="#CCCCCC"> Drew </font>';

        </div></td>



<td width="226"><div align="center"><? echo"$Map1";?></div></td>

<td width="225"><div align="center"><? echo"$Map2";?></div></td>

</tr>

Use double quotes, not single quotes.

Not:
echo '<font color="#FF0000"> $Score </font>';

But:
echo "<font color="#FF0000"> $Score </font>";

See strings in the php manual

Of course, you need to escape the double quotes in the string.

NogDog

Or make the internal quotes single quotes, since HTML allows either type.

Or use concatenation.

Or use the heredoc quoting mechanism.

Or use [man]sprintf[/man] or [man]printf[/man].

Or.... 🙂
