I you did put echo $test; right before echo '<td width="33%" bgcolor="' . $test . '">'; COPY&PASTE your code (don't write it from memory!) and show us Adam wrote:

Does your color code show in the HTML source code? If so, then it's an HTML problem! Marco On Fri, 2002-11-15 at 10:46, Adam wrote:

Re: below, i put in global $test;

Thanks for the advice... I am new to PHP, but have done a lot of C in

the

past so some things are familiar. Anyway, I tried your suggestion but no joy... color does not show, as

if i

had written bgcolor="". Any ideas??? Cheers, Adam. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marco Tabini" <marcot@tabini.ca> To: "Adam" <adam@runtime-records.com> Sent: Friday, November 15, 2002 2:47 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] #color problems

Since you're not substituting anything in your string, you can use single quotes and make it a bit more readable: $test='#FFFFFF'; echo '<td width="33%" bgcolor="' . $test . '">'; is $test defined in the same context as your echo statement (e.g. is

the

echo in a function and $test outside of it)? In that case, you need

to

add $test to your function's context by means of global $test; Marco -- ------------ php|architect - The magazine for PHP Professionals The monthly worldwide magazine dedicated to PHP programmers Come visit us at http://www.phparch.com! On Fri, 2002-11-15 at 10:13, Adam wrote:

Below is a snip of my script. Can't get it to use $test as a color variable!! Can anyone help?? I have tried everything i can think of (bar just
