CSS(Cascaded style sheet) it allows you to set the visual effects of your page...
(Like back ground color, font,size etc etc).

it has got nothing to do with PHP.

what code green meant was change external CSS file(Assuming you used one).
If you havent used. Create one.

You refere w3schools for help regarding CSS.

Header may look like this

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<?php

echo "<html>";

header('Location: http://www.example.com/path/to/file');

echo "</html>";

?>

This is how your header must look like....

You can embed HTML code within PHP tag.. and just echo it.... or other way round.

the php code you have shown should throw an error.

dheerajjoshim

What error?

I remember once i used above code.. It didnot gave any error... What error you are talking about.?

Following must also work....

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<?php

header("  ");

?>

Hi Dormilich and dheerajjoshim,
when i insert the code.. i got NO error on that. Just the background color didnt change.
i search through the code i didnt find the "header" nor the " echo"

I’d expect a ‘missing } error’. and as a personal note, I wouldn’t use a class for simple text, an include should work good enough.

A bit late on this, but...

The code posted by Dheeraj would in fact not work as expected.
The header function adds a header to the HTTP response, and has nothing to do with the HTML <header> tag.
And seeing as you put an echo call right before it, it would never even get executed. (HTTP headers can't be manipulated once content is added to the response.)

Doing header("Location: file.txt"); would not include a header into the current HTML source. It would redirect you to the "file.txt" file. (Which I assume is not what you wanted to happen.)

I'm not entirely sure what you are doing with that "HTML_myweb" class, MyMarlboro, but it seems a bit to complex for this particular problem.

The solution is pretty simple, actually.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<!-- file: index.html -->

<html>

<head>

    <style type="text/css">

        .bnw {

            background-color: #ffffff;

            color: #000000;

        }

        .wnb {

            background-color: #000000;

            color: #ffffff;

        }

    </style>

</head>

<body>

    <p class="bnw">Black text, white background</p>

    <p class="wnb">White text, black background</p>

</body>

</html>

Or, if you prefer to put the CSS into an external file:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
/* file: styles.css */

.bnw {

    background-color: #ffffff;

    color: #000000;

}

.wnb {

    background-color: #000000;

    color: #ffffff;

}

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<!-- file: index.html -->

<html>

<head>

     <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" media="all">

</head>

<body>

    <p class="bnw">Black text, white background</p>

    <p class="wnb">White text, black background</p>

</body>

</html>

None of that has anything to do with PHP. It's just HTML and CSS.
