Show negative numbers "red" transferred by PHP ?

[fraank]

HI,

what would be the easiest solution to format negative numbers that are transferred via PHP from my filemaker database to be displayed in red ?
I´ve heard that all formatting won´t be processed via Filemaker  ...

Thanks for an idea.

Try:

Code:

<?php If ($myFileMakerField < 0) { $style = " color='red'"; } else { $style = ""; } ?>
<p <?php echo $style; ?>><?php echo $myFileMakerField; ?></p>

Code:

<?php if ($feed_row->getField('chg_today_fm') < 0) { $style = "color='red'"; } else { $style = ""; } ?>
<p <?php echo $style; ?>><?php echo "$" .number_format($feed_row->getField('chg_today_fm'), 2, '.', ','); ?></p>

however it is now showing up red for the negative fields.  any suggestions?

Now you're digging into ancient history - I note that I stuffed up the code in the original answer too...

Instead:

Code:

<?php if ($feed_row->getField('chg_today_fm') < 0) { $style = " style=\"color: red\""; } else { $style = ""; } ?>
<p <?php echo $style; ?>><?php echo "$" .number_format($feed_row->getField('chg_today_fm'), 2, '.', ','); ?></p>

Cheers
