echo span tag help

[ptmuldoon]

Can someone tell me how to echo the below code into a span tag?

PHP Code:

<td class="state-<?php echo $player[1]; ?>">

I thought this would be correct, but I haven't gotten it to work yet

PHP Code:

<span style='color:state-".$player[1]." '>

Here you go:

PHP Code:

echo "<span style='color:state-".$player[1]."'>";

It won't work as there is no such colour called 'state-xxxx'.
This is a css problem, not a php one.

PHP Code:

<span class='color:state-".$player[1]." '>

Yes, I realized after I posted, I still need to use the class to get the color. But unfortunately, even though it looks correct to my rookie eyes, the below is still not working correctly.

The query is accurate. It gets and echos the player name fine. Just no css to go with it.

PHP Code:

$sql = 'SELECT player, state FROM game_'.$game['id'].' WHERE state != \'inactive\' AND state != \'initial\' AND state != \'dead\' AND state != \'waiting\' AND id != 1';
            $player = get_array($sql);
            if ($player[0] == $_SESSION['player_name']) {
                echo "<span class='state-".$player[1]." '>".$player[0]."</span>";
            } else {
            echo $player[0];
                break;

What's it show in the source? Is there a class made named what's shown? What's the css for that class?

Thanks for the tip to look at the source code. I should have known to do that.

The source code was showing:

<span class='state-attacking'>playername</span>

Changing the code to below did the trick:

PHP Code:

echo "<span class=\"state-".$player[1]."\">".$player[0]."</span>";
