CSS and variables

De-lurking here.

I'm trying, with no success, to use some CSS styling on my PHP output.

Here's the code I want to style:

echo ''.$row[0].''.$row[1].'

I want to use a CSS style for the second cell, picking up the style
from the value of a variable. I tried this:

$newcolor = "color: red";

'.$row[1].'

But it doesn't work. No problem with th "spacer" class, works fine. I
just can't get the syntax for pulling a CSS style from a PHP var.

TIA for your help!

You could do this:

$newcolor = 'red';
echo "{$row[1]}";
?>

You can't use PHP tags inside a string. You just need to concatenate
the variable into the string you're echoing.
echo ''.$row[0].' style="'.$newcolor.'">'.$row[1].'';

PHP tags may only contain PHP statements. You can't nest additional
PHP tags within. They won't be evaluated.
