CheesierAngel Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 1) Pass a color or theme variable to the page and on base of the color passed you can load a different css file.2) Store the color or theme variable in a database, session, whatever to determine each time which color to use.3) ...[code]<html> <head> <title>Page Title</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/<?php echo $_REQUEST['theme']; ?>.css" type="text/css"/> </head> <body> </body></html>[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/28104-changing-colors/#findComment-128558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheesierAngel Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Example:[code]<?php $color = "greenyellow"; /* Default color */ if(isset($_REQUEST['color'])) { /* If color form submitted */ $color = $_REQUEST['color']; }?><html> <head> <title>ColoringPage</title> </head> <body bgcolor="<?php echo $color; ?>"> <h1>Chooze your background color:</h1> <form action="coloringPage.php" method='post'> <ul> <li><input type="radio" name="color" value="chocolate">chocolate</input></li> <li><input type="radio" name="color" value="burlywood">burlywood</input></li> <li><input type="radio" name="color" value="dodgerblue">dodgerblue</input></li> <?php /* and so on */ ?> </ul> <input type="submit" value="Change Color" /> </form> </form> </body></html>[/code]Didn't tested this code but the logic is all there.

kenrbnsn Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Why are you doing this[code]<?php if(isset($_REQUEST['red'])) { /* If color form submitted */ $color = $_REQUEST['blue']; }?>[/code]You need to use something like this:[code]<?php $color = "#990099"; /* Default color */ if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { /* If color form submitted */ $color = $_POST['color']; // the name of the posted variable is "color" }?><html> <head> <title>ColoringPage</title> </head> <body bgcolor="<?php echo $color; ?>"> <center><font color=#66ff00><h2>Choose your background color:</h2></font></center> <form action="coloringPage.php" method='post'> <ul> <li><input type="radio" name="color" value="red"><font color=red>Red</font></input></li> <li><input type="radio" name="color" value="blue"><font color=blue>Blue</font></input></li> <li><input type="radio" name="color" value="green"><font color=green>Green</font></input></li> <?php /* and so on */ ?> </ul> <input type="submit" value="Change Color" name="submit"/> </form> </form> </body></html>[/code]Notice that I also gave the "submit" button a name, so we could test whether it was pressed.Ken Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/28104-changing-colors/#findComment-128719 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheesierAngel Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Thats no problem, you add a new list to your form with radiobuttons the choose the font.[code]<?php $color = "#990099"; /* Default color */ $fontType = "arial"; /* Default font type */ if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { /* If color form submitted */ if(isset($_POST['color'])) { $color = $_POST['color']; // the name of the posted variable is "color" } if(isset($_POST['fontType'])) { $fontType = $_POST['fontType']; } }?><!-- Your form -->[/code]You can add as many changable variables as you wich. Keep in mind that you actually needto use all customizable variables over your page. You should make a function that does this for you.[code]<?php function _t($text) { global $fontColor; global $fontSize; /* And all other customizable variables */ return "<font color='$fontColor' size='$fontSize' /* and all the rest */>" . $text . "</font>"; }?><body> <?php echo _t("This text is customizable!"); ?> <!-- your form --></body>[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/28104-changing-colors/#findComment-129056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonLewis Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 there isnt really a point in checking if $_POST['color'] is set and same with fontType. but i would check if they are blank, if so set defaults.
