Changing font of php created text...

[blah-de-blah]

How would you do this? I've tried css which usually works, as well as:

print "<font face="verdana">your message has been successfully sent</font>";

I thought that would work, but no luck :-\ any clues? thanks. Oh and do tags like < br > and everything work in the php thing?

yeah, you can just go print("<br />"); to print a line break. You should remember to put slashes before your quotes, or you'll get a parse error. For example:



//incorrect: will give a parse error
print("<font face="verdana">blah</font");
//correct:
print("<font face=\"verdana\">blah</font>");


Although it's probably better to use CSS now, as the FONT tag is depreciated.

yes use css, or you can also use


echo "<font face=verdana>blah</font";

without quotes :)

or
print '<font face="verdana">your message has been successfully sent</font>'; :P

or


echo "<font face=\"verdana\">your message</font>";

wow so many options...but they all look the same :P thats what i love about kirupaforums :) Anyways...whats the difference with echo and print?? oh and <a href.... stuff work too right? thanks

[blah-de-blah]

Oh yea...while i've got so many of your attentions....how would you embed special fonts so that all computers can read the font?? thanks again :P

[Syntax]

who view your site should download and install that special font you used in the html pages. or u create images with that particular fonts to create titles, menus or things like that

with print you can output only one string, while with echo you can output one or more string.

all the html tags you print on screen with 'print' or 'echo' will work.

Oh **** so there is really no other way intead of making hte user download the font?? Because i was planning on using flash pixel fonts :( thanks

[Syntax]

you can do it with activeX controls like http://www.cyberfast.org but i don't know how do it.

bye
