Styling PhP output
I have spent many days / hours trying to implement "css style" on certain php output text, with no success.:wacko:
Today is a better day as I finally figured it out.:clap:
Anyways I decided to post the working code for all the uninformed "such as myself" a long with a few links to various php urls dealing with using echo to implement a css style.
1)This is a post on the various ways to use echo. Nice reference. http://php.net/manual/en/function.echo.php.
2)This is a post on using the <link Rel> or echo <link Rel> to import css. This must be very basic know how,because after looking at tons of sites and post it was the only one which mention the type of header. http://archives.hwg.org/hwg-techniques/[email protected].
3)BB thread over at our friends at dynamicdrive.com offers further reference and example using echo to wrap php code. oohps to wrap the output of php code. http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-4879.html.
Here is a working example of using echo and the span class to style your php output. In fact if you look through your php files one will find this technique has already been used but to the informed "such as myself" it was missed.
define('TEXT_CHOOSE_SHIPPING_DESTINATION','<span class="ship">Your order will be shipped to the address at the left or you may change the shipping address by clicking the Change Address button.</span><br/>');
You have to include your new css class in the main css file. I am using / changing the Cold_Steel templet by Clyde Jones and this templet has a main css file in the Customs\Css dir so your situation may differ.
I hope this reference is useful to you.
Cheers
