formatting in php echo

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 21.2006

i have a redirect on my site after the user signs in which is basically a php echo, problem is it looks ugly as its just a white background and black text

is there anyway to change the background colour, add images and format the text?

cheers for any help

heres the code i have now

[code=php]

if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 1) {
$_SESSION[‘user_logged’] = $_POST[‘username’];
$_SESSION[‘user_password’] = $_POST[‘password’];
header (“Refresh: 0; URL=” . $_POST[‘redirect’] . “”);
echo “<h2>Logging in to I.P Addressing Tutor – Stand By</h2><br>”;
“<a href=”” . $_POST[‘redirect’]. “”>click here</a>)”;
} else {
?>

[/code]

echo <<<CODE
<html>
<head>
<style>
body{
background: #xxxxxx;
color: #xxxxxx;
}

h2{
...
...
...
...
}
</style>
<title>Redirecting</title>
</head>

<body>
<h2>bleblebleblebl ble ble ble ble <a href="ble ble">ble ble </a>
</body>
</html>
CODE;
[/code]

You get the idea I hope, also the most common problem while using this syntax is indenting the last "CODE;" make sure that there is nothing in the samem line, not even a space

@Markbad311Feb 21.2006 — woa woa woa so is your example telling me if I enclose it in <<<CODE I don't have to escape quotes and such in my XHTML?

whit indenting CODE; you mean no indenting right so there is no whitespace before it? I assume white space after doesn't matter right.

<head>
</head>

<body bgcolor="cccccc">

<?php

if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 1) {
$_SESSION['user_logged'] = $_POST['username'];
$_SESSION['user_password'] = $_POST['password'];
header ("Refresh: 0; URL=" . $_POST['redirect'] . "");
echo "<h2><font color="green">Logging in to I.P Addressing Tutor - Stand By</font></h2><br>";
"<a href="" . $_POST['redirect']. "">click here</a>)";
} else {
?>

</body>
</hmtl>[/CODE]

Now it stuffed into html code, you can change the font like i'we done and add images 'n stuff, or mangle it with a style sheet, but that's all you need to do.
