CORRECTED SEVERAL SYNTAX ERRORS - 11/8/06 4:20pm
Save it as a file comment_data.php and include it in your file (use
require("comment_data.php")). Alternatively you can copy the
file on rynite as
cp ~elenam/public_html/1101_fall06/project_files/comment_data.php .
(this will copy the file into your current directory; don't forget to
put a dot after the space).

version of this problem, I will correct this shortly). You are supposed to use\
two separate tables for two candidates and use <strong>width</strong> property\
of <td> to set the length of the bar.
Rachael, you are supposed to add php code to each list item and use a varaible \
to set the <strong>value</strong> attribute. You must keep changing the value o\
f the variable to set the next item number right.
And yes, you are supposed to change the program in questions 2 and 3 to take th\
e numbers of votes as input."),

I don't know how to write the syntax to change the text colors. I thought it wo\

k. For number 2, I'm having problems enabling input from the URL. I've looked o\

appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks.

"Brian,
to set a color (without php variables) you write <code><li style=\"color: #\
FF00FF\"></code>. To store a color in a variable, you write <code>\$color1 =\
\"#FF00FF\"</code>. You need to combine these two things in your php code.
As for the input, you need to set <code>\$vote1 = \$_GET[\"input1\"]</code> and\
the similarly with \$vote2. Then you can use the testing page provided for you\
