Color

[billwatson]

this is probably oh so easy but as only an occassional php coder its got me pulling my hair out

i just want the returned data to have a bit of color

$news .= "<b>$news_title</b><br>$news_desc<br><font color =\#ff0000\><u><a href=\"$news_uri\" target=\"_new\">$news_uri</a></u></font><br><br>";

the above works fine if i remove the <font> tags but i would like the links to be a different color and not just underlined

can somone please point out my error as ive attempted all kinds of combinations without joy

This has nothing to do with PHP (or very little).

You want to use CSS to define styles for address tags.

problem is i am sending the data back to flash so css just isnt an option

is there a way to format the text color with php....bold and underline work fine

You didn't mention flash in your first post...

You could try in line styles:

<a style="color:orange;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline" href ...>text</a>
