It might be a dumb question but....

So it's only going to be one line each time someone bids? Its never going to be more than that? That shouldn't be too hard I think.

Each time the bid is higher anyway! I suppose I could write the formatting to the text file then simply read the lot back into the block if that would work i.e. the file content would become

Code Select Expand

echo '</p><font face="Forte"><font color="#FF0000" size="4"><b>The current High Bid is from imagedktr With a Bid of ÂÃ,£10</b></font></font>';

If its a set style you want on this, maybe simply do this:

Code Select Expand


echo '<span style="font: Forte #FF0000 large bold;">';
require("location of file ect/highbidderis.txt");
echo '</span>';

Thanks Block but that has no effect at all to the formatting of the text! There's probably a simple explanation to this but it's proving elusive to me.

The file you include..maybe better to simply include the formatting in it I think.
