PHP Newbie / echo to a table

[Moif]

Hi all,

I run an internet radio server and I'd like to output the current song and whether the station is currently up or down to a table on my SMF forums.

I've found some code:

$open = fsockopen("123.123.123.123","1234"); 
if ($open) { 
fputs($open,"GET /7.html HTTP/1.1\nUser-Agent:Mozilla\n\n"); 
$read = fread($open,1000); 
$text = explode("content-type:text/html",$read); 
$text = explode(",",$text[1]); 
} else { $er="Connection Refused!"; } 
 
if ($text[1]==1) { $state = "On Air"; } else { $state = "Off Air"; } 
if ($er) { echo $er; exit; } 
echo "<br><font face=verdana size=1> 
Server State: <b>$state</b><br> 
Playing Now: $text[6] 
</font>";

which is outputting things nicely but I'm trying to work out how to output insidea table 1024 across with a black background. I'm not having much luck. Can someone advise please?

Thanks

Hi Moif, a warm welcome to Webmaster World. Easiest way would be as follows:

<table width="1024">
<tr>
<td style="background-color:#000000">
<?php
if ($text[1]==1) { $state = "On Air"; } else { $state = "Off Air"; }
if ($er) { echo $er; exit; }
echo "<br><font face=verdana size=1>
Server State: <b>$state</b><br>
Playing Now: $text[6]
</font>";
?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Hi!

Thanks for the welcome :)

Unfortunatley that didn't work, I received a template parse error.

I have forums here:

..and you can see the PHP in action underneath the menu bar. I'm trying to get that to output to a table which will eventually have a icons to click which open the stream in various players. That won't be a problem but I'm pretty new to PHP so it's baby steps right now :)

I've uploaded the index template here as a text file so you can see the rest of the code:

The shoutcast stats start on line 607.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Moif, I`m afraid we don`t allow links to personal sites. What template engine are you using and where are you attempting to add the code?
