Good day!

I have a pure php code, so my table was in echo and I want to change the font and font-size of text in table header but when I put thid code:

echo "<font size="18" face='Arial'>";

echo "<table>";


and at the lower part i close it

echo "</table>";

echo "</font>";

It only take effect in the text outside the table. and when I try to put it on the <table> It doesn't take effect.

Thank you in advance

You need to either apply the font tags within each <td>, or apply a CSS attribute to the tag which would look something like this:

td {
    font-size:18px;
    font-family:Arial;
}

Of course you can add a class to the <td> such as class="size18td" and apply it with ".size18td {" instead of "td {" in the CSS.

This should do it. CSS Attributes

echo '<div style="font-size: 18pt; font-face: Arial;">';

and at the lower part i close it

echo '</table>';

echo '</div>';  

However, a better way of doing this would be to declare CSS classes and assing the <td> tags to the class as such :

.myclass {

 font-size: 18pt;

 font-face: Arial;

}

echo '<table name="mytable" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr valign="top"><td class="myclass">Some Text</td></tr></table>';

Also, please notice that I use combination of single and double quotations to avoid having to escape them. For example instead of doing this :

echo "<table name=\"myname\">";

Its easier to do this :

echo '<table name="myname">';
