Fancy Neon Text Effects with CSS3

September 23, 2018 Web Design Comments(18)

Did you ever want to create fancy neon effects? No? Well…to bad I’ll explain how to create them anyways. Neon text mostly is achieved by using the CSS3 property “text-shadow” on multiple layers and a saturated colour, as well as some animations to look more realistic.

Live Example

The most important are the “text-shadow” – We won’t use it for an actual shadow but for the glow effect of the text. Each line in the value represents one of the radiuses of the glow (i.e. The first line creates the glow with a 10px radius). In most cases we want the inner shadows to be a brighter version of the colour or even white, while the outer ones have the neon-color.

body{
  background-color:#424242;
}
.neon{
  text-align:center;
  font-size:40px;
  margin:20px 0 20px 0;
  color:#ffffff;
  /*Glow*/
  text-shadow: 0 0 10px #ffffff,
             0 0 20px  #ffffff,
             0 0 30px  #ffffff,
             0 0 40px  #228DFF,
             0 0 70px  #228DFF,
             0 0 80px  #228DFF,
             0 0 100px #228DFF,
             0 0 150px #228DFF;
}

body{

background-color:#424242;

}

.neon{

text-align:center;

font-size:40px;

margin:20px 0 20px 0;

color:#ffffff;

/*Glow*/

text-shadow: 0 0 10px #ffffff,

0 0 20px #ffffff,

0 0 30px #ffffff,

0 0 40px #228DFF,

0 0 70px #228DFF,

0 0 80px #228DFF,

0 0 100px #228DFF,

0 0 150px #228DFF;

}

If we want, we can also animate this!

We want to use an “animation” attribute here for the glow effect, don’t forget the vendor prefixes “-webkit-” and “-moz-“! Right now the animation still needs its key frames to work

.neon{
  text-align:center;
  font-size:40px;
  margin:20px 0 20px 0;
  color:#ffffff;
  text-shadow: 0 0 10px #ffffff,
             0 0 20px  #ffffff,
             0 0 30px  #ffffff,
             0 0 40px  #228DFF,
             0 0 70px  #228DFF,
             0 0 80px  #228DFF,
             0 0 100px #228DFF,
             0 0 150px #228DFF;
  /*Animation*/
  -webkit-animation: neonAnimation 1.5s ease-in-out infinite alternate;
  -moz-animation: neonAnimation 1.5s ease-in-out infinite alternate;
  animation: neonAnimation 1.5s ease-in-out infinite alternate;   
}

.neon{

text-align:center;

font-size:40px;

margin:20px 0 20px 0;

color:#ffffff;

text-shadow: 0 0 10px #ffffff,

0 0 20px #ffffff,

0 0 30px #ffffff,

0 0 40px #228DFF,

0 0 70px #228DFF,

0 0 80px #228DFF,

0 0 100px #228DFF,

0 0 150px #228DFF;

/*Animation*/

-webkit-animation: neonAnimation 1.5s ease-in-out infinite alternate;

-moz-animation: neonAnimation 1.5s ease-in-out infinite alternate;

animation: neonAnimation 1.5s ease-in-out infinite alternate;

}

For the key frames we need to use the vendor prefixes again, like this:

/*Webkit prefix*/
      @-webkit-keyframes neonAnimation {
        from {
          text-shadow: 0 0 10px #ffffff,
                     0 0 20px  #ffffff,
                     0 0 30px  #ffffff,
                     0 0 40px  #228DFF,
                     0 0 70px  #228DFF,
                     0 0 80px  #228DFF,
                     0 0 100px #228DFF,
                     0 0 150px #228DFF;
        }
        to {
          text-shadow: 0 0 5px #ffffff,
                     0 0 10px #ffffff,
                     0 0 15px #ffffff,
                     0 0 20px #228DFF,
                     0 0 35px #228DFF,
                     0 0 40px #228DFF,
                     0 0 50px #228DFF,
                     0 0 75px #228DFF;
        }
      }

      /*Moz prefix*/
      @-moz-keyframes neonAnimation {
        from {
          text-shadow: 0 0 10px #ffffff,
                     0 0 20px  #ffffff,

        }
        to {

        }

How to Fetch Data in Excel or Generate Excel file in PHP

September 30, 2018October 13, 2018 Web Design

File structure for this tutorial : config.php (database connection file) index.php (For fetching data ) genrate-excel.php (For genrating excel file) Create a sql table tblemployee. Structure of sql table employe .

CREATE TABLE `tblemploye` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `fullName` varchar(120) NOT NULL,
  `emailId` varchar(150) NOT NULL,
  `phoneNumber` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `department` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `joiningDate` varchar(100) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
ALTER TABLE `tblemploye`
  ADD PRIMARY KEY (`id`);
ALTER TABLE `tblemploye`
  MODIFY `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, AUTO_INCREMENT=5;
COMMIT;

CREATE TABLE `tblemploye` (

`id` int(11) NOT NULL,

`fullName` varchar(120) NOT NULL,

`emailId` varchar(150) NOT NULL,

`phoneNumber` int(11) NOT NULL,

`department` varchar(100) NOT NULL,

`joiningDate` varchar(100) NOT NULL

) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

ALTER TABLE `tblemploye`

ADD PRIMARY KEY (`id`);

ALTER TABLE `tblemploye`

MODIFY `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, AUTO_INCREMENT=5;

COMMIT;

Now insert some data into this table.

INSERT INTO `tblemploye` (`id`, `fullName`, `emailId`, `phoneNumber`, `department`, `joiningDate`) VALUES
(1, 'Ogbugbu Ejiroghene, 'ogbugbu14@gmail.com', 08154761214, 'IT', '2018-05-01'),
(2, 'Ejiro', 'john@test.com', 45455454, 'HR', '2017-08-12'),
(3, 'Kefe', 'demo@test.com', 23423423, 'Account', '2016-10-01'),
(4, 'Test', 'test@test.com', 834856384, 'IT', '2017-12-01');

INSERT INTO `tblemploye` (`id`, `fullName`, `emailId`, `phoneNumber`, `department`, `joiningDate`) VALUES

(1, 'Ogbugbu Ejiroghene, 'ogbugbu14@gmail.com', 08154761214, 'IT', '2018-05-01'),

(2, 'Ejiro', 'john@test.com', 45455454, 'HR', '2017-08-12'),

(3, 'Kefe', 'demo@test.com', 23423423, 'Account', '2016-10-01'),

(4, 'Test', 'test@test.com', 834856384, 'IT', '2017-12-01');

Index.php in this file we will read the data from database.

?php
$query=mysqli_query($con,"select * from tblemploye");
$cnt=1;
while ($row=mysqli_fetch_array($query)) {
 
?>
  <tr>
                <td><?php echo $cnt;  ?></td>
                <td><?php echo $row['fullName']?></td>
                <td><?php echo $row['emailId']?></td>
                <td><?php echo $row['phoneNumber']?></td>
                <td><?php echo $row['department']?></td>
                <td><?php echo $row['joiningDate']?></td>
            </tr>
<?php 
$cnt++;
} ?>       
</table>

?php

$query=mysqli_query($con,"select * from tblemploye");

$cnt=1;

while ($row=mysqli_fetch_array($query)) {

<tr>

</tr>

<?php

$cnt++;

} ?>
