[SOLVED] chnaging background if if statement

[runnerjp]

hey guys i wanna chnage the background of the table with an if statement like so

 

<tr <?php if($important == 1){bgcolor='#993399'} else {bgcolor='#F2F2F2'} ?> class='mainrow'><td width="3%">

 

 

but it does not seem to work ..

try...

<tr <?php if($important == 1){ echo "bgcolor='#993399'"; } else { echo "bgcolor='#F2F2F2'"; } ?> class='mainrow'><td width="3%">

 

that should definately work

[runnerjp]

humm my $imprtant is not working...can you see where its going wrong??

$getthreads="Select * from forumtutorial_posts where parentid='0' and forum = '$forum' ORDER BY lastrepliedto DESC $max";


$getthreads2=mysql_query($getthreads) or die("Could not get threads");

while($getthreads3=mysql_fetch_array($getthreads2))

{

  $getthreads3[title]=strip_tags($getthreads3[title]);

  $getthreads3[author]=strip_tags($getthreads3[author]);
      $important=$getthreads3[important]
?>
<tr <?php if($important == 1){ echo "bgcolor='#993399'"; } else { echo "bgcolor='#F2F2F2'"; } ?>class='mainrow'><td width="3%"><? if($getthreads3[author] == $puser){ ?> <img src="http://www.runningprofiles.com/images/my folder.gif" alt="My" /> <?}   else { echo 'nooo'; } ?>

instead of...

$important=$getthreads3[important]

 

try using...

 

$important=$getthreads3['important'];

 

As you can see i aded a semi colon to the end of the variable and also added those small quotes around important

saldy that did not work in chnaging the colour buti can echo the no 0 or 1!

<?php $getthreads="Select * from forumtutorial_posts where parentid='0' and forum = '$forum' ORDER BY lastrepliedto DESC $max";


$getthreads2=mysql_query($getthreads) or die("Could not get threads");

while($getthreads3=mysql_fetch_array($getthreads2))

{

  $getthreads3[title]=strip_tags($getthreads3[title]);

  $getthreads3[author]=strip_tags($getthreads3[author]);
  $getthreads3[important]=strip_tags($getthreads3[important]);
      $important=$getthreads3['important'];
?>
<tr <?php if($important == 1){ echo "bgcolor='#993399'"; } else { echo "bgcolor='#F2F2F2'"; } ?>class='mainrow'><td width="3%"><? if($getthreads3[author] == $puser){ ?>

i was thinkin of doing something like this instead  <?php if($important == 1){ class='mainrow1' } else {class='mainrow2} ?>  how wouldi do this correctly

[darkfreaks]

if($important == 1){ class='mainrow1' } else if($important==2) {class='mainrow2}

[runnerjp]

with

 

<?php if($important == 1){ class='mainrow1' } else if($important == 2) {class='mainrow2}?>

 

i get unexpected =expecting t_sting

[darkfreaks]

if($important == 1){ class='mainrow1' } else if($important==0) {class='mainrow2}

[runnerjp]

i think its how class='mainrow1'  is done

[darkfreaks]

shouldnt ie be a variable like $class ???

[runnerjp]

huh what u mean,,, class is css

[ILYAS415]

your ,meant to be echoing the class

[runnerjp]

if($important==1) {

    $class = "mainrow1";

} else {

    $class = "mainrow2";

} 

 

 

then

 

 

<tag class="' . $class . '">

 

did it wahoo

[Sulman]

You need to echo the class

<?php
<tr class="<?php if($important == 1){ echo "mainrow1"; } else { echo "mainrow2"; } ?>"><td width="3%">
?>
