How to make a certain username a certain colour with PHP [HELP]

[JoshuaLuke]

Hey,

I have a users online page and it displays all the users online. I'm wanting to make my username bold and red so it stands out since im the owner (my username is Josh) but I can't figure out how to do it. Heres my code:

<div class="habblet-container ">         
<div class="cbb clearfix red ">  
<h2 class="title">Online Users</h2> 
<div align="left">
<div class="box-content">
 
<?php
 
require_once 'global.php';
 
$getUsers = dbquery("SELECT id,username,motto,look,online, last_online FROM users WHERE online = '1' ORDER BY id ASC");
$getMembers = dbquery("SELECT username FROM users WHERE rank = '8' ORDER BY id ASC");
 
 
if (mysql_num_rows($getUsers) > 0)
{
echo '<ul style="margin: 0; color:#000000">';
 
while ($u = mysql_fetch_assoc($getUsers))
{
echo $users->formatUsername($u['id']);echo ', ';
 
}
 
echo '</ul>';
}
else
{
echo '<br /><br /><i>There are currently no users online.</i>';
}
 
?> 
 
    </div> 
</div> 
    </div></div>

An ideas?

This looks a little bit messy, but don't know how to explain it. Maybe you can use something like this to create "ifs" when someone is a special rank.

if ($row['rank'] == "4") {
$color = "color_name";
}

And add something like this in your style.css:

.name_pink{color:#ff49b;}
.name_black{color:black; font-weight:bold;}
.name_green{color:#0db600; font-weight:bold;}
.name_purple{color:#7501b1;}
.name_orange{color:#ff921e;}
.name_red{color:#ff0000;}
.name_gray{color:#CCCCCC;}

I'm sure there misses some code, but it's a start.

What do I define the color variable as? eg. $color = 'lalal';

Also, I got this from my staff page:

if($u['username'] == 'Subway')
{
$u['username'] = 'Owner';
}

But it didn't work :l

Because it isn't a valid PHP code. I think you need something like this, depens on the variables you use.

$u['username'] = 'Owner';

=

$rank= "Owner";

The page outputs fine with the code I provided but it doesn't change the name to owner.

What is your $ variable for your username? $u ?

 

[JoshuaLuke]

What is your $ variable for your username? $u ?

It uses a

 while ($u = mysql_fetch_assoc($getUsers))

 

[leenster]

$users->formatUsername($u['id'])

Can you show me the function formatUsername from your users class?

 

[JoshuaLuke]

$users->formatUsername($u['id'])

Can you show me the function formatUsername from your users class?

Sure:

 function formatUsername($id, $link = true, $styles = true)
{
$datas = dbquery("SELECT id,rank,username FROM users WHERE id = '" . $id . "' LIMIT 1");
 
if (mysql_num_rows($datas) == 0)
{
return '<s>Unknown User</s>';
}
 
$data = mysql_fetch_assoc($datas);
 
$prefix = '';
$name = $data['username'];
$suffix = '';
 
if ($link)
{
$prefix .= '<a href="/user/' . clean($data['username']) . '">';
$suffix .= '</a>';
}
 
if ($styles)
{
$rank = $this->getRank($id);
 
}
 
return clean($prefix . $name . $suffix, true);
}

A simple way of doing it.

if ($link)
{
 
 
if(clean($data['username'])== 'JoshuaLuke') $class = ' class="someCSSclass"'; else $class = '';
 
$prefix .= '<a href="/user/' . clean($data['username']) . '" ' .$class. '>';
$suffix .= '</a>';
}

then in your style sheet create the someCSSclass

Not tested but should work...


A better way would be to use your ID..
something like
if(clean($data['id'])== '1') $class = 'class="someCSSclass"'; else $class = '';

$suffix .= '</a>';
}

Where bouts do I put that? :L

 

[leenster]

In that function you just showed me.

Doesn't work, it says 'Incorrectly configured in my browser' or if I use an else if it doesn't work

 

[leenster]

try it without the clean()...

if ($link)
{
    if($data['username']== 'JoshuaLuke') $class = 'class="someCSSclass"'; else $class = '';
 
    $prefix .= '<a href="/user/' . clean($data['username']) . '" ' .$class. '>';
    $suffix .= '</a>';
}

make sure to replace your
if ($link)
{$prefix .= '<a href="/user/' . clean($data['username']) . '">';$suffix .= '</a>';
}

with the one i gave you..


from what i can see it should work...
