PHP Print Command

[barney12]

Hi Please be gentle with me as I am very new to all this :D

 

Thanks to a contrib (and a tiny bit of tweaking by me) I have added the following code (pasted below) to my product_info.php so I can show my stock status and it works a treat.

But, I'm not content because as well as making the text bold I also want to chang ethe colour but if I add the <font color=""> tag I get a page error. Is there a way I can do this or am I barking up the wrong lamppost.

 

Also whilst I write is there a way to add a stock status to the product listing pages so it shows up for each product in each row. Ideally I'd like to show 1,2,3,4,5+ like in the code below rather than the actual stock level.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Barney

 

<td class="main">

<?php

$prod_quantity = tep_get_products_stock($products_id);

switch ($prod_quantity) {

case 0:

print ("<b>Product Status: Out of Stock</b>");

break;

case 1:

print ("<b>Product Status: We have 1 in stock</b>");

break;

case 2:

print ("<b>Product Status: We have 2 in stock</b>");

break;

case 3:

print ("<b>Product Status: We have 3 in stock</b>");

break;

case 4:

print ("<b>Product Status: We have 4 in stock</b>");

break;

default:

print ("<b>Product Status: We have 5+ in stock</b>");

}

?>

I sounds as if you are having an issue because you are trying to display quotes inside of a string. For example:

 

print("<div style="color:blue;">");

 

As far as PHP is concerned, its going to try render the line, however its going to think your string in the print function ends with style=" and then really gets confused because it expects to see a closed parm after that. There are two ways you can handle this. Numbe one would be to use the alternate single quote inside your HTML code for example:

 

print("<div style='color:blue;'>");

 

Or you may use the PHP backslash delimiter:

 

print("<div style=\"color:blue;\">");

 

Be well,

Tina

Thanks Tina, thats great, all sorted.

Just need to work out how to get a simular stock status into the prodcut listings page, anyone got any clues?

 

Cheers again
