Setting a color class in php...?

Buffmin · 11-22-2011, 07:39 PM

Hello all. Not quite sure how to do this. I am getting comfortable with html & css, but I now added some php to the page. I am displaying php variables, and cannot figure out out how I would make my "email link" a different color than my "website link. I would assume I need to set classes, but they don't seem to work in the "echo" statements. I am hoping that someone would be kind enough to steer me in a direction. Sincerely, Buffmin

I shortened my code a bit, but you should get the idea.

PHP Code:


			
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<head>

<head>

  

<style type="text/css">

body {background-color:ffffff;}    

#divone{width:900px;overflow:auto}

</style>



</head>

<body>



<?php



$username="username";

$password="password";

$database="database";



mysql_connect("dbase.perfora.net",$username,$password);

mysql_select_db($database) or die("unable to select");

$query = "SELECT * FROM `mybiz` WHERE `Type` LIKE '%$name%' ";

$result=mysql_query($query)or die("Failed Query of " . $query);  ;

$num=mysql_numrows($result);

mysql_close();



$i=0;

while ($i<$num) {



echo "$contact"."</br>"; 

echo "<A href=mailto:$email>$email </A>."</br>""; 

echo "<a href=$website>$website </A>";



?>

<div id= "divone">



<?php

echo "<b>Contact: </b>"."$contact"."</br>"; 

echo "<B> Email :</B> <A href=mailto:$email>$email </A><BR>"; 

echo "<B> Website :</B> <a href=$website>$website </A><BR>"."</br>";

?>



</div><!-- end of divone -->

<?

$i++;

}



?> 

</body>

</html>

Code:

echo "<A class='emailink' href=mailto:$email>$email </A>."</br>"";

then in your css

Code:

a.emaillink {
color: 'red';
}
a.emaillink:hover{
color: 'blue';
}
