Object's fontSize attribute not changing

[gomescoder]

HI TSDN Pals,


I am trying to create an object to modify its colour, size, message attributes on the fly using OOP concept...

Everything works fine with this code but the problem is the font size is not changing. I have highlighted the problem area in the below snippet.

// Start of the Snippet
-------------------------------

class theme{
 
var $fontColour;
var $fontSize;
var $amessage;
 
function __construct($fontColour,$fontSize){        // attribute intialization
 
$this->fontColour=$fontColour;
$this->fontSize=$fontSize;
 
}
 
function accessMessageFetch() {         // amessage attrirbute fetching from file
 
$fd=fopen("includes/amessage.inc", "r+") or die ("Can't open the file amessage.inc");
$fstring =fread($fd, filesize("includes/amessage.inc"));
$this->amessage=$fstring;
fclose($fd);
 
}
 
function accessDisp(){                    // display function
 
/*************************************************
*    Problem Area:
*************************************************/
echo "<span><font color=/'".$this->fontColour."/' size=/'".$this->fontSize."/'>".$this->amessage."</font></span>";  // Problem area
 
}
 
} // end of class
 
$themeSetting=new theme('#3671AD',+2);
$themeSetting->accessMessageFetch();
$themeSetting->accessDisp();

Heya, gomescoder. Welcome to TSDN!

Try adding a style attribute to your span instead of creating a (deprecated) font tag:

echo <<<EOT
<span style="color:{$this->fontColour};font-size:{$this->fontSize};">{$this->amessage}</span>
EOT;

Hi Pbmods,

Your solution worked thatz great

additionally i have learnt that you need to pass the font-size value along with the suffix 'px'

From my previous posting there is a bug in line 34.

Code: ( Php )

34: $themeSetting=new theme('#3671AD',+2);

--END OF CODE

The above line 34 should be written as

34: $themeSetting=new theme('#3671AD','20px'); // Change in the Font-size argument


Thanks Pbmods
