Hi there,
I have edited some php-source (a Stringychat 'shoutbox' on the webpage)
By default, all the text was not marked up at all.
I have tried to markup the text, and succeeded partly.
Can somebody help me applying my last changes?
This is the source:
printf("<font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"
size=\"-2\" color=\"#888888\">%s\n", date("H:i - d/m/y",
$myrow["StringyChat_time"]));
printf("<font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"
size=\"-2\" color=\"#888888\"><div class=\"StringyChatItem\">%s\n",
$myrow["StringyChat_name"]);
printf("%s<font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"
size=\"-1\" color=\"#ff0000\"></div>\n", $msg);
StringyChat_time = 22:18 - 05/01/05 ,
StringyChat_name = My name
msg = This is the message
the output on the screen is like this:
22:18 - 05/01/05
My name This is the message
It is all in gray, and all the same (good) font.
What I would like is that the time is same gray, same font
after that on a new row (like it is now) the name in bold black, behind that
a "-" and then the message in red (same font)
Could some PHP-expert please assist me with this?
Thanks, Jan K. 4  3435 
Hello Jan,
I think you need to close the <font>-tag on each line, like:
printf("<font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"
size=\"-2\" color=\"#888888\">%s\n", date("H:i - d/m/y",
$myrow["StringyChat_time"])</font>" );
I do not have php available at this moment, so I have not tested it but I am
pretty sure.
Regards,
Stefan

ugh.. what a mess
you don't need a php expert...
how about :
echo '<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-2"
color="#888888">'
..date('H:i - d/m/y',$myrow['StringyChat_time'])
..'<div class="StringyChatItem">'.$myrow["StringyChat_name"]
..' - <FONT color="red">'.msg.'</FONT></div>'
..'</FONT>';
toss all that printf mess... use single quotes so you don't have to
escape the double-quotes and php doesn't try to parse what's inside...
I have no idea how "StringChatItem" has been defined in the StyleSheet,
so that could change fonts/ colors, etc..
Your question is not about PHP, but about HTML (and CSS).
First define your otput HTML like:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.base {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 80%;
color: #888888;
}
.StringyChatItem {
color: Black;
font-weight: bold;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<span class="base">
22:18 - 05/01/05<br />
<span class="StringyChatItem">My name -</span>
<span style="color: Red;">This is the message</span>
</span>
</body>
</html>
Then use PHP in it like:
<?php
$myrow['StringyChat_time'] = mktime( 22, 18, 0, 1, 5, 2005 );
$myrow['StringyChat_name'] = 'My name';
$msg = 'This is the message';
?>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.base {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 80%;
color: #888888;
}
.StringyChatItem {
color: Black;
font-weight: bold;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<span class="base">
<?php echo date( "H:i - d/m/y", $myrow['StringyChat_time'] ); ?><br />
<span class="StringyChatItem"><?php echo htmlspecialchars( $myrow['StringyChat_name'] ); ?> -</span>
<span style="color: Red;"><?php echo htmlspecialchars( $msg ); ?></span>
</base>
</body>
</html>
Do not use <font> tags if you do not have to (use "class" and "style" attributes).
Remember that if you do not close tags ("font" or "div" etc.) then it'll "bleed"
styles to the rest of the document. So if you change font style, then close the tag
right after the text ending, to which the style applies. If you nest style modifying tags,
then remember that outer tag style may (in most cases will) influence inner tag style.

Thanks, I'll take your tips into account.
Someone already helped me (in alt.php) but he/she did not crosspost, so you
did not see that reply.
We (in Holland) do not have a PHP-group, but I am trying to distinguis which
php-group is the best for me.
I have so little experience with PHP, but sometimes need to edit/change some
code for my webpage (PHP/MySQL).
So thanks for your help!
