Re: align center in php
1) Align is not an HTML tag, align=center is not valid SGML syntax, and you did not have a closing tag to boot.
HTML Code:
<span style="text-align: center;">Logged in successfully</span><br>
2) The usual way - using an anchor tag. Also, read the Don't say Click Here link in my signature.
HTML Code:
<a href="somewhere">Somewhere</a>

Re: align center in php
You should have a stylesheet, which is a .css file you attach using a <link> tag in your <head> section.
HTML Code:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mypage.css">
</head>
In the stylesheet you can put CSS rules such as font etc.
Code:
html {
font: 9pt Verdana, sans-serif;
}
sans-serif is a generic font class which is there as a fallback in case Verdana is not available on the user's system.
All presentational rules should be set in the CSS file. The only things you should have in the HTML document are classes and id's, which you can use in CSS selection rules. If you are not familiar with this I suggest you go through a CSS tutorial.

Re: align center in php
Ah,
You should give that a class (if it will appear more than once on a page) or ID (if it will appear only once).
Then you can select it in your stylesheet like this:
Code:
/* For a class: */
.classname {
font: 9pt Verdana, sans-serif;
}
/* For an ID: */
#id {
font: 9pt Verdana, sans-serif;
}

Re: align center in php
PHP is a pre-processor. In most cases, and in this case, you're using it to output HTML code. So there's absolutely no difference. Whether you are using PHP or ASP or no server side language is completely transparent to the browser, which is what does the HTML and CSS parsing.

Re: align center in php
You probably have to escape the additional quotes, for example:
PHP Code:
echo "<span class=\"classNameHere\">Logged in successfully.</span><br>";
If you do not escape the additional quotes in the text, PHP thinks it's the end of the string and thinks that everything after it is PHP code.

Re: align center in php
Don't use double quotes for strings. Single quotes are more efficient and avoids having to escape most characters. Also, don't use echo to output HTML. Output is what PHP does when it's not doing anything, so just stop the PHP block.
PHP Code:
<?php if ($res == 1): ?>
<span style="text-align: center; ">Logged in successfully.</span><br>
<?php endif; ?>

Re: align center in php
Applying alignment to a span element will not do anything.
