hi

i,m basicaly trying to colour the columns when the user picks from the dropdownlist and radio buttons here is the code:

PHP Code:


			
if (isset($_SESSION['radiobutton1']))

{

if ($_SESSION['radiobutton1'] == 'chocolate'){

$colour = "#D2691E";

}elseif ($_SESSION['radiobutton1'] == 'forestgreen'){

$colour = "#228B22";

}elseif ($_SESSION['radiobutton1'] == 'turquoise'){

 $colour = "#00DED1";

}

}



if (isset($_SESSION['checkbox10'])) {

fwrite($handle,'<td><xsl:value-of select="fgeu_code"/></td>'."\n");

}else{

if($_SESSION['dropdown'] == "fgeu_code") {

fwrite($handle,'<td bgcolor=\"$colour\"><xsl:value-of select="fgeu_code"/></td>'."\n");

}

but is not working or wrtiting the lines when it does it only writes:

Code:

<td><xsl:value-of select="fgeu_code"/></td>

not:

Code:

<td bgcolor="#D2691E"><xsl:value-of select="fgeu_code" /></td>

can anyone see why?

thanks for your time

You may need to enable php for that folder, if don't have access to the apache config files you can use .htaccess

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .php

or just change ext to php

If checkbox10 is set, it'll never show a colour, regardless of the value of radiobutton1 or dropdown. I presume that's intentional. But it's clear from the results you've described that checkbox10 is always set.

Have you tried confirming the value of checkbox10? Remember that if it's set to zero or blank, it will still be set, so will still trigger the condition in your code; maybe you need to change the if() to check whether it's got a value greater than zero, rather than just checking if it's set?

It's hard to say any more than that, because I'd need to see the code where you're actually setting these variables. Without knowing what values you've got, it's not going to be easy to know why they're triggering the wrong bits of code here.

I can't see any links or pictures? Not sure what you meant there.

But anyway...
Lets say your form contains this:
<input type='checkbox' name='checkbox10' value='1' />

...and your PHP program does something like this:
$_SESSION['checkbox10'] = $_REQUEST['checkbox10'];

...and then on to the code you quoted in your question...

In that case, it's likely that $_SESSION['checkbox10'] will always be set, even if you it doesn't actually have a value, so therefore your if(isset($_SESSION['checkbox10'])) statement will always get the same result.

A better way of doing it would be to write:
if($_SESSION['checkbox10']=='1')

ie -- instead of using isset(), look for the actual value in the checkbox.

Hope that helps.

All the best.
