    Using this code in the comments.php

    Code:
  • user_id)
    $oddcomment = “authcomment”;
    echo $oddcomment;
    ?>”

with CSS

Code:
.authcomment {
background-color: #B3FFCC !important;
}

Can’t get it to work. Any Ideas?

You have curly quotes, or "smart quotes" – the kind generated by Microsoft Word – in your code. PHP won’t recognise them so make sure you use a programmers text editor to edit PHP files, and only use " and ‘ for quotation marks.

Code:

  • PS. You can use Notepad++ on the PC and TextWrangler on Mac.

    Yea, I was wondering about those question marks. But I am using Coda. Those lines are generated by PHP right?

    Ok, I got that changed, but I’m still seeing the question marks. Any other ideas?

    You have 4 funny quotes to fix – one on the line starting <li class=", 2 on the line starting $authcomment = and 1 on the ?>" line.

    I think if you get them all it will solve your problem.

    Cheers
