I'm having a little trouble with this. It keeps throwing up an error, so I'm obviously doing something wrong.


I'm simply trying to get an echo statement working with a class named "text".

Here is the code:

PHP Code:

<?php 
include ("header.html");

$user = 'neil'; // set the required 
$pass = 'password'; // username and password 

if($user == $_POST['username'] && $pass == $_POST['password']) 
{ 
    echo 'Welcome  '.$_POST['username']. "<br>";
    echo 'click here to go to the <a href="index.php">members</A> area'; 
} 
else 
{ 
    echo "Invalid username/password !<br>"; // Display this if the username/password were wrong.
echo 'Click <a href="login.html">here</A> to try again';
} 


include ("footer.html");
?>

Now I want all of the echo statement to be part of a class named "text".

I've tried

"<p class=\"text\">stuff and nonsense</P>"

But it keeps telling me that something is wrong.

How should I be going about this?

Cheers

firstly this bit:

echo 'Welcome  '.$_POST['username']. "<br>"; 

Has two different types of quotations. Change "<br/>" to '<br/>' but if your problem is the second bit then what error is it spitting out?

Also you only need to escape the quotations if you are using double quotes for the echo statement.

Remember you could also simply go for

PHP Code:

<?php if($someargument=='yes'){?>
<p class="text">This is normal html</p>
<?php }?>

of course echo should be working anyways

Oh don't worry, I know this is a pathetic login system, but its for a Uni assignment, and its the one they showed us as an example to use, so it should suit my needs.

I'll have a look at the above and see if I can make it work.
