How to style echoed text?

March 19, 2022

I am trying to style the user, time and content. they only appear once the user has entered a comment into the website and so i cannot use

tags with inline css. any suggestions?

            if ($result->num_rows != 0 )
            {
                $row;
                while($row = $result->fetch_assoc())
                {
                    echo("</br>");
                    echo("User: ".$row['user']."</br>");
                    echo("Time: ".$row['time']."</br>");
                    echo("Message: ".$row['content']."</br>");


                }
            } 
          }

>Solution :

1- create a class in your css (i.e: myClass)

2- use echo like this:
echo 'User: <span class="myClass">'.$row['user'].'</span></br>' ;

Edited:

html characters in php are like string!
so you may concat them all like this:

echo '</br> 
      <div class="myClass">
        User: '.$row['user']
        .'</br> 
        Time: '.$row['time']
        .'</br>
        Message: '.$row['content']
      .'</div> </br>';
