Hello, PHP master, please help me….

This is my question.

1. I want to numbering to user in comments filed.

for example

————
1. name1 , 2004 06 04

brahbrahbrah.

————

2. name2 , 2004 06 05

brabrabrabrabra.

————-

like this, and I tried to wrote some php code.
but it does’n t work…. so ,how should I write for??
(I dont want to use <li> tag, because of design issue.)

2. And I have another question,

I want to replace anonymous user name for “Anonymous”,
Becouse when I was using MT, I allow user to comment anonymously,
(I mean I didn’t require Name, or E-mail, besides comment itself.)

Then, I imported old data from MT, name field turned just blank.
so I want to change blank to “Anonymous”.

This is my broken PHP code.

{exp:comment:entries}

<? php for($j = 0; $j++);

<span class=“posted”>

$j .

if(!$name) $name=“Anonymous”;

{url_or_email_as_author}  
{comment_date format=’%y/%m/%d’} {comment_date format=’%H:%i’}
</span>

<p>{comment}</p>

?>

{/exp:comment:entries}

Please help me!!

1. I would still suggest a simple HTML ordered list (<ol> and <li>).  Simply use CSS to determine how it is displayed.  You can remove the indent, etc.

2. You should probably go into the database and replace all the blank names with “Anonymous”.  You could try running a SQL query like this to do so:

Definitely make a backup of the database before performing any global updates like this.

2. I just finished replace blank name , thanks for good idea!

1. Yes, I know it’s better to use <li> tags.
but it looks different between several browser… despite use CSS.

If someone has good idea, please help me !
Any info will be appriciated.

If you post what sort of output you’d like to see, then I bet someone can tell you the CSS to use to get it.

Thank you Chris, what I’d like to see is ..
