Applying HTML tags to parts of PHP file

[sparklywater]

I am trying to change the font-colour of part of a query in php, by using a CSS class in html.

I want the following code to have the css class 'time' applied to it.

'.vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $dateline);

I have edited the above php code in this way:

echo '<span class=\"time\">' '.vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $dateline) '</span>' ;

This code however does not work. Does anyone here know how I can correctly apply the 'time' class to a piece of code in php?

What is the full line of code? (Perhaps a few lines above and below.)

Here is the full query from that section:

// ################################################## ############
// ###################### Start WTdatelineTOusertime ############
// gets dateline in unix format and converts it to visitor's time.
function WTdatelineTOusertime($dateline)
{
global $vbulletin, $vbphrase;

if ($dateline == 'Never' OR $dateline == '0')
{
return $vbphrase[never];
}

$readbable = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $dateline, true).' - '.vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $dateline);

return $readbable;
}



The part in red is the part I want to apply the css class to.

Use tags when posting PHP. The syntax highlighting would probably have told you where you were going wrong...

Try something like:
[php] $readbable = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $dateline, true).' - <span class="time">'.vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $dateline) .'</span>';
Else contact the author for further assistance.

Then you just add it to the string your storing in that variable. You echoing it is trying to send it to the browser.



$readbable = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $dateline, true).' -<span class=\"time\">' .vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $dateline).'</span>';

return $readbable;
}




edit: There you go again OP...lol
