Run the following code with NO modifications.  When you are sure that it works correctly, then you start modifying it.  When it quits working, you will know that what you have tried is wrong.

 

 

 
<?php
include("colors.php");
function randomColor($colors) {
$color = array_rand($colors,1);
return (strpos($color,'*') === false) ? substr($colors[$color],1) : randomColor($colors);
}
 
// $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ph_referers WHERE owner = '$_SESSION[username]' ORDER BY id DESC");
// while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql)){
 
// $ipaddress = $row['ipaddress'];
$ipaddress = array('User1' => '127.0.0.1','User2' => '127.0.0.1','User3' => '44.43.44.44', 'User4' => '54.45.45.45'); 
$usedColors = array();
foreach($ipaddress as $user => $address) {
if(array_key_exists($address,$usedColors)) {
$color = $usedColors[$address];
} else {
$color = randomColor($colors);
$usedColors[$address] = $color;
}
echo  '<font color="#' . $color . '">' . $address . '</font><br />';
}
 
//echo "$new - $row[username]:$color<br>"; 
 
//}
