Re: Formatting an ECHO statement.

There's nothing wrong with using <em> as it indicates emphasised text, which is semantic. Use span tags with classes only when the content you're styling has no semantic alternative. <strong>important message</strong> is much better for machines (including search engines, screen readers, etc) to infer a meaning for than <span class="bold_text">important message</span> Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk ----- Reply message ----- From: "tedd" <tedd.sperling@gmail.com> Date: Mon, Oct 18, 2010 17:51 Subject: [PHP] Formatting an ECHO statement.

Don't style output in an echo statement, but rather put styling in a css sheet, It's much cleaner there.
