I’m trying to figure out how to apply attributes to my table via php

  • 0

I’m trying to figure out how to apply attributes to my table via php email. I can’t get the background and and rowspan to work. Can’t figure it out.

$to = 'XXXXX';
$subject = 'New Homeless Connection';
$msg = "<html>
<head>
<title>New Homeless Connection</title>
</head>

<body>

<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\" border=\"1\" align=\"left\">
<tr>
<td align=\"left\" width=\"150px\" background=\"#EEEEEE\">Registery No.:</td>
<td align=\"left\"> $reg</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=\"left\" background=\"#eee\">First Name:</td>
<td align=\"left\">$first_name </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=\"left\" background=\"#eee\">Connection Date:</td>
<td align=\"left\"$>$connect_date</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=\"left\" background=\"#eee\">Probability:</td>
<td align=\"left\"$>$prob</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=\"left\" background=\"#eee\">Volunteer Name:</td>
<td align=\"left\"$><strong>$hv_name</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=\"left\" background=\"#eee\">Volunteer Phone:</td>
<td align=\"left\"$><strong>$hv_phone</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=\"left\" background=\"#eee\">Consent Form:</td>
<td align=\"left\"$>$consent</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=\"left\" background=\"#eee\">Field Count:</td>
<td align=\"left\"$>$reg_count</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=\"left\" rowspan=\"2\">http://wwww.41q.org/admin/</td>
</tr>
</table>

    A few things about tables:

    • You don’t use “px” to define the width/height. Should just be width="150"
    • The background attribute should be bgcolor, and it doesn’t use #. Just set bgcolor="eeeeee"
    • Why do you have $‘s like this? <td align=\"left\"$> . Those shouldn’t be there.

    The rowspan is OK, but it’s not doing anything because there is no row below it. I’m not sure what you are trying to do with the rowspan.
