    Ok, guys. So what im trying to do is add a style to my echo, and also to the information that is called from my form.

    The was i have it set up now will change the color and position, but it also prints the {$ } calls.

    How do i get it to format everything correctly, and the information that is being imputed into the form.

    Sorry, im new at php, so if im not making sense just tell me.



    
    
    <?php
                             
     echo '<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: georgia,palatino; color: #003366;</span></p> This is a {$mandate} {$compname} {$make} {$modelnum} {$wii} </br>;'
                    
    ?>    
    
    
    PHP:

    I know what it is.
    You are telling it to print the variable names as a string.
    Do it like this:
    echo '<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: georgia,palatino; color: #003366;</span></p> This is a' . $mandate . $compname . $make . $modelnum . $wii</br>;'
    PHP:
    I'm pretty sure there's a quicker way, but this should work. if not, just ask again.

    <?php

    echo "<p style='text-align: center;'><span style='font-size: large; font-family: georgia,palatino; color: #003366;'></span></p> This is a {$mandate} {$compname} {$make} {$modelnum} {$wii} </br>";

    ?>

    or

    <?php

    echo "<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: large; font-family: georgia,palatino; color: #003366;\"></span></p> This is a {$mandate} {$compname} {$make} {$modelnum} {$wii} </br>";

    I don't really understand what you are trying to do.

    Im trying to get this code to print inside a tinymce editor and have the style already configured so you don't have to go in and re style everything each time.

    Im going from a form where you put in information, and trying to have that information print inside the tinymce with the style (color, placing, etc) already added.

    I figured out how to get my items to print inside the tinymce, just cant figure out how to have the style already added.

    I don't get it. Sorry, I'm no expert. I don't even know what tinymce is.
