How to stylize a bit of php code?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 14.2010

I want to try to stylize this piece of php code so that when it displays, I can give it a color and font style and size..

[code=php]if (!$resp->is_valid) {
die (“Your CAPTCHA Code wasn’t entered correctly. Go back and try it again.”);
}[/code]

well, if I try to do something simple like apply a DIV around it like this, it breaks the php from functioning correctly by giving [I]Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent[/I]

[code=php]<div style=”color:#FF0000; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:14px;”>
if (!$resp->is_valid) {
die (“Your CAPTCHA Code wasn’t entered correctly. Go back and try it again.”);
}
</div>[/code]

and if I try this method, it simply does not display the style..

[code=php]if (!$resp->is_valid) {
die (“<span style=’font-size: 14px;color:#FF0000;’>Your CAPTCHA Code wasn’t entered correctly</span>. Go back and try it again.”);
}[/code]

any other methods to recommend or see an error in my methods?

You don't have to escape single quotes inside double quotes. Remove the slashes to escape the single quotes and it works fine - at least on the simple test I ran.

@DanInMASep 14.2010 — I'm not familair with php as of yet but your not closing the span correctly. You should use </span> not </style> . Perhaps changing it will help.

I did read some info about php strings and it appears you are escaping the single qoutes correctly.

oops.. in that 3rd example I didn't catch the wrong closing tag and see it should be </span>.. however, that did not allow the style to render so I will look into qjensen's remarks next....

thanks.. you nailed it. it was my slashes so the correct format is...

[code=php]die ("<span style='font-size: 14px;color:#FF0000;'>Your CAPTCHA Code wasn't entered correctly. <a href="javascript:history.go(-1)">Go back</a> and try it again.</span>");[/code]

@etardauthorSep 14.2010 — BTW.. any idea why other styles would not be adhered to? for example, I added in

[I]margin-top:75px[/I]

to bump the text output down a bit, but that style is being disregarded while the others are rendered.
