css help

I have something that i am hoping is simple, have a small php script and i want the background of one of the td to change according to the value from the database. for example if the number from the database is between 1000 & 2000 then i want the color to be "#fff" if the number is between 2000 & 3000 then i want it to be "#000" and so on with probably with about 10 possibilities, is this possible in css or will i need to use a javascript? Any help would be truely appreciated.

I'd use php. You can "jump" in and out of php when ever you want eg.

if ($foo >1000 && $foo <2000){?>
<style>
element{
background:#fff;
}
</stlye>
<?php } ?>
I'd try to put that in the head somewhere if possible.
...also,don't presume my syntax is correct, i just woke up.

That's php territory, you could do it w/ JavaScript too but php is the most obvious way.

Since you have like 10 possibilities, use a switch statement.


<style type = "text/css">

.className
{
color: <?php

switch($var)
{
case ($var < 5000): echo "#FFF;";
break;
case..........
}
?>
}

</style>


I'm not sure if the syntax on that case will work. If it evaluates to true, it should print your color, if not, it should go down to the next case. Just play around w/ it and see though. :thumbsup:

Ok I am not familiar enough with what you are talking about, If you can give me a little more would greatly appreciated

<style type = "text/css">

.className
{
color: <?php

switch($var)
{
case ($var > 1000 && $var < 2000): echo "#FFF;";
break;
case ($var > 2000 && $var < 3000): echo "#FFF;";
break;
.... //other cases go there
default: "#000";
}
?>
}

</style>

ok that i got but when i use it it makes everything greater than the first number the first row color, i dont know what else to change

This is what i had for the stylesheet

.defenselose
{
color:#FF0000;
font-size: 12;
font-weight:bold;
background-color: <?php
switch($var)
{
case ($var > 0 && $var < 1000): echo "#FFF;";
break;
case ($var > 1000 && $var < 2000): echo "#FFFF00;";
break;
case ($var > 2000 && $var < 2500): echo "#66FF99;";
break;
case ($var > 2500 && $var < 3000): echo "#E0C760;";
break;
case ($var > 3000 && $var < 3500): echo "#669999;";
break;
case ($var > 3500 && $var < 4000): echo "#9933FF;";
break;
case ($var > 4500 && $var < 5000): echo "#CC6666;";
break;
case ($var > 5000 && $var < 5500): echo "#0066FF;";
break;
case ($var > 5500 && $var < 6000): echo "#006633;";
break;
case ($var > 6500 && $var < 7000): echo "#666666;";
break;
case ($var > 7000 && $var < 8000): echo "#996600;";
break;
case ($var > 8000 && $var < 9000): echo "#FF00FF;";
break;
case ($var > 9000 && $var < 10000): echo "#330000;";
break;
case ($var > 10000 && $var < 12500): echo "#66FF00;";
break;
case ($var > 12500 && $var < 15000): echo "#333333;";
break;
case ($var > 15000 && $var < 20000): echo "#CC99FF;";
break;
case ($var > 20000 && $var < 30000): echo "#CCCCFF;";
break;
case ($var > 30000 && $var < 40000): echo "#993300;";
break;
case ($var > 40000 && $var < 5000): echo "#660099;";
break;
case ($var > 40000 ): echo "#000;";
break;
default: "#000";
}
?>
}

And all of the Background colors were White from case ($var > 0 && $var < 1000): echo "#FFF;";

Don't get offended but I gotta ask, what is the name of the variable in your script? Is it $var or something else? ;o

that i am not sure about, let me look through and see what i can find, again i am new to this


$defwin = $u['defwin'];


i think that is what you are talking about right?

$defwin = $u['defwin'];

I don't know. Is that the variable that holds the number that you want? If it is, then go for it.

thats it, but here is the link to the Page

http://www.tspclan.com/SS/test.php?id=156

As you can see, the 2 center columns are yellow and i dont know how to fix it that way obviously is not working, i am lost lol

Anyone else have anything this is what i have right now & it just chows a black bg on my cell


.defensewin
{
color:#FF0000;
font-size: 12;
font-weight:bold;
background-color: <?php
switch($defwin)
{
case ($defwin <= 1000): echo "#FFF;"; break;
case ($defwin <= 2000): echo "#FFFF00;"; break;
case ($defwin <= 2500): echo "#66FF99;"; break;
case ($defwin <= 3000): echo "#E0C760;"; break;
case ($defwin <= 4000): echo "#669999;"; break;
case ($defwin <= 4500): echo "#9933FF;"; break;
case ($defwin <= 5000): echo "#CC6666;"; break;
case ($defwin <= 5500): echo "#0066FF;"; break;
case ($defwin <= 6000): echo "#006633;"; break;
case ($defwin <= 7000): echo "#666666;"; break;
case ($defwin <= 8000): echo "#996600;"; break;
case ($defwin <= 9000): echo "#FF00FF;"; break;
case ($defwin <= 10000): echo "#330000;"; break;
case ($defwin <= 12500): echo "#66FF00;"; break;
case ($defwin <= 15000): echo "#333333;"; break;
case ($defwin <= 20000): echo "#CC99FF;"; break;
case ($defwin <= 30000): echo "#CCCCFF;"; break;
case ($defwin <= 40000): echo "#993300;"; break;
case ($defwin <= 50000): echo "#660099;"; break;

This works for me. If I change the $var variable to fit one of the test conditions, it gives the correct color. So maybe there's something wrong with the value you're pulling from the database.

stupid question but what is the $var=5; ?

This is definition of $var for test purposes, In your case, you should get this number from your database. You shouldn't define it like that.
