To make the text red...... way to easy

CODE

<?php
echo "Roses are red";
?>


CODE

<?php
echo "<font color='red'>Roses are red</font>";
?>


The above is one of a million of ways to display the text red....

Just for the record...while geoff did provide a means of coloring text, that particular method is quite old, and the methods suggested in the FAQ are preferred. If you're having trouble understanding the info in the FAQ, I heartily recommend you study CSS a bit more closely, since you'll find that it'll make your life a hundred times easier in the future.

You are right it is an outdated method but it was a quick answer, and a method that I don't use myself. I much prefer creating a class and using the code for #ff0000.
