tables generated with php?

echo '<tr><th font size=8>Date</th>
<th>IP Address</th>
<th>Operating System</th>
<th>Browser</th>
<th>Referring Page</th>
<tr>';

?>

Nothing to do with PHP. That's not valid html

Use proper html markup or CSS

The 'font' attribute in html is deprecated. For what you want to do,
try something like this:

<table border="1">
<tr style="font-size: 8em;">
<th>...</th>
<th>...</th>
....

BTW, if you'd bother to read any documentation, you'd notice you are
talking about html not php, and also notice that font property
(deprecated or not) can't be used as an attribute for tables (its a tag,
not an attribute).

While it is startlingly off-topic, I'd prefer we point these people in the
right direction rather than chew them out.

deko, formatting HTML (see www.w3c.org to understand why your solution
doesn't work) using raw PHP is slow at best, irritating at worst. Delegate
the presentation to something like the Smarty template library
(http://smarty.php.net/) and use PHP's power to get the data to populate the
templates with.

Huh? In what way was that chewing him out? Not my business if he wants
to use PHP to write html, he may have perfectly valid reasons for doing
so.

He wanted to know why it wouldn't work. I told him.
