Cell Colour Change!!!

Hi I am trying to change the colour of a cell depending on what page the
user is on..

I have View.php the is loaded into every page!

This is what I was trying to do but I got no clue how it goes

If page is "home" Then cell colour should be blue
If page is "register" Then cell colour should be Red
If page is "contact us" Then cell colour should be yellow

If some one can help me at least make a basic php structure for this I would
appriciate it!

Pass a page var with each link and in the cells:
if($page=="home") {
//make the background this color
} elseif($page=="register") {
//make the background this color
} else {
//and so on
}

Or get a bit fancier and use something like $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; to see
what page you're on.

Do you mean something like...?

<style>
..blue{
background-color: #89D3F8;
}
..red{
background-color: #FEB7A5;
}
..yellow{
background-color: #FFFFAA;
}
</style>
<?
switch($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']){
case 'home.php':
$style='blue';
break;
case 'register.php':
$style='red';
break;
case 'contact.php':
$style='yellow';
break;
}
?>
<table><tr><td class="<?=$style">.......

if ($page !== "home") { whatever }

means:

if the contents of the variable named $page are (very) *different* to
"home" then do whatever


I think you want

if ($page === "home") { whatever }

which means: if $page is (very) *equal* to "home" then do whatever



But ... the switch solution provided by another poster is your best bet.

switch ($page) {
case 'home': echo 'bgcolor="#006699"'; break;
case 'compose': echo 'bgcolor="#66CC33"'; break;
// ...
default: echo 'bgcolor="006699"';
}

did you notice the home and default colors are the same?
get the "home" out of the construct to speed up your code a few
milliseconds :)

This is what I have but does not work:

<tr <?php if($page!=="home") { print(bgcolor="#006699"); }
elseif($page!=="compose") { print(bgcolor="#66CC33"); }
elseif($page!=="registration") {
print(bgcolor="#FF0000"); }elseif($page!=="contact") {
print(bgcolor="#FFCC00") else ( print(bgcolor="#006699"); } ?>>

<td height="14" colspan="5"
valign="top"><!--DWLayoutEmptyCell-->&nbsp;</td>
</tr>

What happens is the View.php gets loaded into every page.
I have a cell the I would like to change the colour depending on what page
the user is on.
but would like to leave the other cells alone.

for example if($page!=="home") then the color (background color) of the cell
should be #006699
if the page isnot "home" but its ($page!=="registration") the color of that
cell should be #FF0000.
would this require the use of a variable? I have no clue how to use them.

Thanks
