How to change text colour of PHP echo depending on value

4/29/2015 8:38 am | #1 s.joiner74419001

I have an html table displaying data from a database and on a particular column I would like to change the text or cell colour depending on its value

the values in the DB table column are 'Active' 'On hold' 'Closed'

Help please!

You can add a conditional css attribute with php like:

php:

<div class="<?php echo($row_Recordset1['status']=='Active'?'activeClass':''); ?><?php echo($row_Recordset1['status']=='On hold'?'holdClass':''); ?><?php echo($row_Recordset1['status']=='Closed'?'closedClass':''); ?>">here is my text</div>

This way you will have three classes assigned to the text based on the value in that column and those three classes can have different styles including color.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

Hi Ray.

How can I achieve something similar to this, but PHP value would be something like..

<?php echo($rsActiveApps->getColumnVal("rtm_status")>17 and $rsActiveApps->getColumnVal("rtm_status")< 35 ?'legalClass':''); ?>

So if the column value is between 18 and 34 the ‘legalClass is used.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks in advance.

php:

class="<?php echo(($rsActiveApps->getColumnVal("rtm_status")>=17 && $rsActiveApps->getColumnVal("rtm_status")<=35)?'legalClass':''); ?>"
