echoing with font styles and colors

[Kysmiley]

I have seen this many times but now that i need it i cant find what i need. I have an <? echo $error_msg:?> that i would like to make the font red, i just dont remember how to set this up so it displays the font as I want it

the easiest way would be to add the html to the echo string.
<? echo "<font color='red'>$error_msg</font>";?>
