Formatting PHP table

[dave1236]

How do I format the output from a query? Specifically, I have the following code this works...

...
<td>$id</td>\n
...

but this does not---
...
<span style="font-variant: small-caps">
<font color="#0000FF">$id</font></td>\n

any ideas on how I would be able to fromat the output of my query?

This might have something to do with single and double quotes, but it's hard to tell.

In other words:

echo "<td>$id</td>\n";

would work o.k. But for the second one you might have to do something like:

echo '<span style="font-variant: small-caps">';
echo "<font color='#0000FF'>$id</font></td>\n";

Notice the single and double quotes...

Yes, that is most likely the problem. More on this here [us2.php.net]. :)

instead of using

echo '<span style="font-variant: small-caps">';
echo "<font color=\"#0000FF\">$id</font></td>\n"

I recommend you use css:

echo "<td class=\"td_id\">$id</td>\n";
