Unable to output text depending on option

[yobo]

Hey All,

 

I was wondering if somone could take a look at this for me?

 

What I am trying to do is change the font colour of the text depending on what the user selected

 

for example I have to pages one page that has the code for the radio buttons the other page that processes it

 

now if the user slects the red radio button i want the next page to output the name of the radio button they selected in that colour so being red.

 

my code is shown below

Form Page

<?php 

/** 
* @author Joe Moore 
* @copyright 2009 
*/ 

?> 
<form action="script.php" method="POST"> 
<input type="radio" name="colours" checked value="red"/> Red<br /> 
<input type="radio" name="colours" value="blue"/> Blue<br /> 
<input type="radio" name="colours" value="green"/> Green<br /> 

<input type="submit" value="GO"/> 


</form>

 

Process Page (script.php)

<?php 

/** 
* @author Joe Moore 
* @copyright 2009 
*/ 

echo "<font color="$_POST['colours']"></font>"; 
?>

 

all I get is an error phase error msg

this

 

echo "<font color="$_POST['colours']"></font>"; 

 

should be

 

echo "<font color=".$_POST['colours']."></font>";

You probably want to use the quotes for the color attribute.

 

echo '<font color="'.$_POST['colours'].'"></font>';
// or
echo "<font color=\"{$_POST['colours']}\"></font>";  
// etc...
