This is what I have right now:
Code: Select all
echo "Thank you! Information entered.\n";
I want to be able to apply a css style to this and/or some html stuff (ie. <table cellpadding="3"><tr><td class="sumptin">Thank you! Information entered.</td></tr></table> )
thank you for your help!

Sweet that worked. But now, how do I put an echo in an echo?
Here's what I mean:
Code: Select all
echo '<table align="center" cellpadding="3"><tr><td align="center" class="graybold">Thank їcolor=#FF0000]їb]"$first_name"ї/b]ї/color] you for voting!</td></tr></table>';
I want to put the user's name in the above area captured from a form field on the page. Can you put an echo in an echo?

This should work:
echo '<table align="center" cellpadding="3"><tr><td align="center" class="graybold">Thank you "$_POST[first_name]" for voting!</td></tr></table>';
hmmm, didn't work

PHP ignores stuff in strings contained in single quotes so you need something like:
Code: Select all
echo '<table align="center" cellpadding="3"><tr><td align="center" class="graybold">Thank you '.$_POSTї'first_name'].' for voting!</td></tr></table>';
