Html Font Tags In Php editing fonts using html?

[HmmZ 0]

I have a php script thats is fully written in php (no html at all). Now for my question, how can i edit the fonts?

Ill make it easier to understand, the following is a data script (found the script):

<?$mese[0]="-";$mese[1]="January";$mese[2]="February";$mese[3]="March";$mese[4]="April";$mese[5]="May";$mese[6]="June";$mese[7]="July";$mese[8]="August";$mese[9]="September";$mese[10]="Octobre";$mese[11]="November";$mese[12]="December";$giorno[0]="Sunday";$giorno[1]="Monday";$giorno[2]="Tuesday";$giorno[3]="Wednesday";$giorno[4]="Thursday";$giorno[5]="Friday";$giorno[6]="Saturday";$gisett=(int)date("w");$mesnum=(int)date("m");echo $giorno[$gisett]." ".$mese[$mesnum]." ".date("d");?>

Id like to edit the font that will come out of the echo, right now its a normal font, while I want to keep the same font i use on my sites tables, is it possible?

I don't really know in what context you are printing the output, but assuming it is in a html page somewhere you could do something like this:

<?echo "<span class="mystyle"".$giorno[$gisett]." ".$mese[$mesnum]." ".date("d")."</span>";?>

And replace "mystyle" with the class you use for your tables, or add a .mystyle class to your css file. Or you could replace class="mystyle" with style="font-family: sans-serif" or whatever font you are using in your tables.

echo "<span class="stats">".$giorno[$gisett]." ".$mese[$mesnum]." ".date("d")."</span>";

is not working . Must be some stupid typo somewhere

Oh, yeah, sorry. You of course have to escape the quotes:

echo "<span class=\"mystyle\">".$giorno[$gisett]." ".$mese[$mesnum]." ".date("d")."</span>";

Glad to help. Though, I just started looking at what you're printing, and if you just want to echo "Sunday/March/06" (or whatever the current date is), you can do this:

date("l/F/d");

Full list of all things the date() functions can do: http://de2.php.net/manual/de/function.date.php

lol, it's pretty funy people make scripts like these then isn't it?. Anywayz, its installed and showing correctly, not going to edit that part anymore

It doesn't really matter that there is a built-in function for it, at least you've learned some more PHP and what you have now is working. :angry:But if you are going to use date things some other time I recommend the date() function, it's really nice, and you can also give a timestamp as argument, so if you have a guestbook you can store the text and date in a database and then when you show it on a page you can use the date() function to format the timestamp the way you like.

This truth simply

echo "<span class=\"mystyle\">".$giorno[$gisett]." ".$mese[$mesnum]." ".date("d")."</span>";

echo "<span class=\"mystyle\">".$giorno[$gisett]." ".$mese[$mesnum]." ".date("d")."</span>";

Why not just use single quotes? They parse faster, are easier and faster to type, and allow you to type double-quotes without escaping them.

echo '<span class="mystyle">'.$giorno[$gisett].' '.$mese[$mesnum].' '.date('d').'</span>';

well in single quotes, you also have to escape '. it's just the same as in double quotes you have to escape ". but the advantage of a double quote is that it can escape many special characters such as new lines and line feeds. and about the the single quotes being parsed faster, i really have no idea about it since they are just considered as a single character.

Single quotes are parsed faster than double quotes because the PHP parser doesn't expect anything to be escaped or any special characters to be added in by single quotes. It just expects a plain string. Also, double quotes are used more often than single in HTML (unless you're one of those freaks that surrounds tag attributes with single quotes ), and even in normal speech. So it would make more sense to use single quotes than to escape 10 double quotes in your string, and also sacrifice speed.
