Text color in php

[nma]

Hi Again

How do I put a text color in case option? Eg I want the case:ALL the text will be red, case Dialogue the text is yellow, case Montage the text is blue and so on. What is the best way to modify these codes below?

[PHP]
$events = (isset($_REQUEST['events']))?$_REQUEST['events']:"All";
switch($events) {
case "All":
$allEvents = $db->get_results("SELECT * FROM EventsShotsStartAndStopFrames where movieID='$movieID' order by startShot");

foreach($allEvents as $event)
{

$shotStartTime = $event->shotStartFrame/29.97;

if(is_int($event->shotStartFrame)) {
$shotStopTime = $event->shotStopFrame/29.97;
}
else {
$shotStopTime = 0;
}

$numberOfShotsInEvent = $event->endShot - $event->startShot;
$eventInformation = "$event->eventCategory <br />($numberOfShotsInEvent shots)<br />";
$eventInformation .= '<em style="font-size:smaller;">' . sec2hms($shotStartTime) . " - " . sec2hms($shotStopTime).'</em>';
insertEventTableRow($_GET['movieID'], $event->eventID, $event->imgSelectedKeyfrm, $shotStartTime, $shotStopTime, $eventInformation);
}
break;
case "Dialogue":
case "Montage":
case "Exciting":

$db->query("INSERT INTO LogsTable (page, action, userID, type, date) VALUES ('MB2eventlist', '$events categories', " . $_SESSION['user']->userID . ", '', getDate())");

$allEvents = $db->get_results("SELECT * FROM EventsShotsStartAndStopFrames where movieID='$movieID' and eventCategory = '$events' order by eventNo");

foreach($allEvents as $event)
{

$shotStartTime = $event->shotStartFrame/29.97;

if(is_int($event->shotStartFrame)) {
$shotStopTime = $event->shotStopFrame/29.97;
}
else {
$shotStopTime = 0;
}

$numberOfShotsInEvent = $event->endShot - $event->startShot;
$eventInformation = "<b>$events " . $event->eventNo . "</b><br />($numberOfShotsInEvent shots)<br />";
$eventInformation .= '<em style="font-size:smaller;">' . sec2hms($shotStartTime) . " - " . sec2hms($shotStopTime).'</em>';
insertEventTableRow($_GET['movieID'], $event->eventID, $event->imgSelectedKeyfrm, $shotStartTime, $shotStopTime, $eventInformation);
}
break;
default:
die("Invalid Event!");
break;
}

Hi,

Are we talking HTML output, or what kind of output are we talking?

Hi,

I would define the different layout/colour options in a CSS file and then within the case statement output the display using the relvant CSS class/selector or whatever.

[PHP]
function insertEventTableRow($movieID, $eventID, $keyFrame, $startTime, $stopTime, $eventInformation) {
?>
<tr bgcolor="#726257" onMouseOver="this.bgColor='#534741';" onMouseOut="this.bgColor='#726257';" style="cursor: pointer;">
<td width="65" valign="top" width="65" height="44" border="1" vspace="2">
<img src="<?php echo $keyFrame;?>"
onclick="parent.playClip(<?php echo $eventID?>, <?php echo $startTime;?>, <?php echo $stopTime;?>);parent.notesForm.eventID.value=<?php echo $eventID?>;parent.resetNotes();">
</td>
<td width="195" class="eventEntryText" onclick="parent.playClip(<?php echo $eventID?>, <?php echo $startTime;?>, <?php echo $stopTime;?>);parent.notesForm.eventID.value=<?php echo $eventID?>;parent.resetNotes();">

Hi,

If I understand you correctly, just punt <font>-tags around the php code and it should work fine.

Hi,

If I understand you correctly, just punt <font>-tags around the php code and it should work fine.

that involves merging content and style - a big pain when it comes to maintaining or changing the site and the behaviour. I would simply define three (or as many as needed) classes in the CSS that only differ interms of colour then you can apply thee depending no the branch of the case statement.

This means that should you need these colours again they are easy to use and should it be that they need to be changed then that is one change in one file - it's waht CSS is for.

Do the smart thing and use CSS for all your style control.

PS I recently had to update a site (written by someone else) that had inline style for everything - it was a pain in the ass to find the content in the code!

Hi nma,

I'm glad you got the desired result and that you managed it with CSS.

All the best with the rest of your project.
