Change the color of commas in php - php

Question

Here is my code:
<?php
$posttags = get_the_tags();
if ($posttags) {
$tagstrings = array();
foreach($posttags as $tag) {
$tagstrings[] = '' . $tag->name . '';
}
echo implode(', ', $tagstrings);
}
// For an extra touch, use this function instead of `implode` to a better formatted string
// It will return "A, B and C" instead of "A, B, C"
function array_to_string($array, $glue = ', ', $final_glue = ' and ') {
if (1 == count($array)) {
return $array[0];
}
$last_item = array_pop($array);
return implode($glue, $array) . $final_glue . $last_item;
}
?>
The code puts a comma after tags in WP (except the last tag). I would like to change the color of commas. How can I do it?

Answer 1

You can use something like this:
$glue = '<span class="tagglue">,</span> ';
and use that in your implode() calls (either place in your snippet).
Then create a css declaration like:
.tagglue {color: blue;}
Implementation:
<?php
$posttags = get_the_tags();
if ($posttags) {
$tagstrings = array();
foreach($posttags as $tag) {
$tagstrings[] = '' . $tag->name . '';
}
echo array_to_string($tagstrings);
}
// For an extra touch, use this function instead of `implode` to a better formatted string
// It will return "A, B and C" instead of "A, B, C"
function array_to_string($array, $glue = '<span class="tagglue">, </span>', $final_glue = ' and ') {
if (1 == count($array)) {
return $array[0];
}
$last_item = array_pop($array);
return implode($glue, $array) . $final_glue . $last_item;
}
?>
I'll take this change to link several related pages on StackOverflow (that don't offer coloration):
