PHP won’t print style tag…?

Author: admin

I'm probably doing something painfully obvious here. >.< I'm trying to make a scroll bar colour generator and whenever I ask the php to print the style tag it stops working. The whole page won't load. Here is an example of what the php looks like with the style tag:

print " <style type="text/css"> <head> <!– body {scrollbar-3dlight-color:" . $_GET["face"] .";";</p> <p>print " scrollbar-shadow-color:" . $_GET["shadow"] .";";</p> <p>print " scrollbar-highlight-color: " . $_GET["highlight"] .";";</p> <p>print " scrollbar-darkshadow-color: " . $_GET["darkshadow"] .";";</p> <p>print " scrollbar-track-color: " . $_GET["track"] .";";</p> <p>print " scrollbar-arrow-color:" . $_GET["arrow"] .";";</p> <p>print " } –></style></head>";

Anyone have a clue to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks a lot!

Answer:
First, the

tag is not correct in that location and the <style> tag must be within the <head>…</head> section.</p>
<p>Second, use single quotes around what you are printing so that you don't conflict with the double quotes.  E.g. -</p>
<p><?php</p>
<p>print '<head><style type="text/css"> … ';</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>?><br />
<hr /><b>Answer: </b><br />Does textarea belong there at all?  Doesn't style belong inside head instead of the other way around?<br />
<hr /><b>Answer: </b><br />Put a backslash in front of any quote mark that has nothing to do with the print function itself.</p>
<p>print " scrollbar-shadow-color:\" . $_GET[\"shadow\"] .\";";</p>
<p>not</p>
<p>print " scrollbar-shadow-color:" . $_GET["shadow"] .";";</p>
