If you use double quotes to enclose a string literal, as you did in your example, PHP sees the double quotes in the <FONT> tag, and thinks you are trying to close the string, thus the syntax error. You have to escape the double quotes with a backslash character, e.g.: echo " <dl><dt><b><font color=\"#FFFFFF\">$user[0]</font></b> &nbsp;&nbsp;$mailadd&nbsp;$urladd&nbsp;&nbsp;($user[3])<dt><dd>$user[4]< /dd>\n</dl>"; -----Original Message----- From: Regis Philbin [mailto:regis@nbc.com] Sent: Sunday, October 14, 2001 12:53 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] how to set font colors I'm trying to modify some font collors. The author has indicated that I just need to insert standard markup tags. Below, is the unmodified code. echo " <dl><dt><b>$user[0]</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;$mailadd&nbsp;$urladd&nbsp;&nbsp;($us er[3 ]) <dt><dd>$user[4]</dd>\n</dl>"; the normal font tags like the example below return an error. <font color="#FFFFFF">$user[0]</font> Is this done differently in php? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
