I use PHP frequently in WWB projects. I would like to be able to control formatting (font size, color) when using the echo statement within an editbox.

The statement below used within a PHP script obediently writes it to the top line on my page with proper formatting.

echo " ($_SESSION["DocumentTitle"]) ";

However, when I embed it within an editbox inside a form using the statement below

<?php echo( " ($_SESSION["DocumentTitle"]) " ); ?>

The following shows up in the editbox when I run the project

 One line simple string in blue color, arial font and font size 12pt 

I have successfully used <?php echo("Hello World"); ?> type statements (no formatting) in editboxes before.

Can anyone unravel this mystery for me?

Much appreciated.

I'm not php expert, but I believe the normal css would be as such:

your text here

or possibly just add a class and then add the class to your .css file.

your text here

and then in a html box/page html add to the <head> section:

<style>
.demo{color:blue;font-family:arial;font-size:12pt;}
</style>

Using is deprecated in html5.

Try something like: (I haven't tried it)

echo " $_SESSION['DocumentTitle']";

Am I missing something? The Editbox properties have a Style tab where you can define the font size and colour. Doesn't that work?

Edit - I should have added that you can place the php echo statement as the initial value.

Thanks everyone for your help. I'm an idiot. I thought I had tested Brian's suggestion and it didn't work properly but that is not the case.

Best,
