I had included php article directory in my website, and very much want to change appearance and headers to something at least similar to other website pages. I freely admit I am not familiar with php. I have spent last few days searching through and reading the backoffice and also downloaded copies of the files. I don't want to change any functions. Color changes only, which I believe are imperative. Backgrounds, borders, header blocks, and font colors. Change to matching font would be nice, but less important. Also, If possible, change to width of frame to match other pages. I cannot post url, as new member here, not yet eligible. I would very much appreciate any guidance. Thank you.
Are you talking about something more on the lines of an external style sheet (CSS)? If you're looking for appearance changes, that would be the way to go. CSS is what would be best for changing colors, fonts, positioning, borders, etc.
The appearance of a program has nothin to do with php, as suggested it's likely that its controlled by a style sheet in css format, or individually styled tags, either way php won't be involved....
