change color of text from database 2

[JacobTechy]

How can I change the color of text for some database fields that get populated in a php page. I want name, datetime and hr different colors. Below is my code in php.

echo $name;
echo '</a>';
echo ' - Posted on '.$datetime.'<br />';
echo ''.$comment.'';
echo '<hr />';

What about:

echo "<span style='color:red'>" . $comment . "</span>";

Check out

http://www.w3schools.com

for tutorials on many web technologies. I would suggest learning more about (X)HTML and CSS as the coloured text above is achieved by using PHP to output (X)HTML and CSS code to the browser.
