Conditional Format (cell colour) on table

[mdemetri2]

Hi

 

I have a table that populated by a recordset, and wondered whether is was possible to make a row background colour = red where a particular cell = some text?

 

I have been searching around and not managed to find anything of use.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Anything is possible!

 

can you post your code please?

 

thanks.

I dont have any code, as I have not attempted to do it. If I had anything it would just be a table populated by a recordset.....

where's the code for that?

echo "<td style='background-color: " . ( $val < 0 ? 'red' : 'white' ) . ";'>{$val}</td>";

Thanks for the code, I have not had a go as yet, but I'm going to try adding it to the following table code:

 

<table width="728" border="1">

  <tr>

    <td>id</td>

    <td>value</td>

  </tr>

  <?php do { ?>

    <tr>

      <td><?php echo $row_Recordset1['id']; ?></td>

      <td><?php echo $row_Recordset1['Value']; ?></td>

    </tr>

    <?php } while ($row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1)); ?>

</table>

The answer was there for two hours before you posted

It may have been, but I'm not constantly connected to the internet or on this forum. I will attempt to use your code which you helpfully posted to make it do what I want.

 

Bare with me, my php knowledge is limited.

hi, ok, made some inroads, but the formatting comes out off, in that the columns dont align for some reason, but I made code look like this and it works:

 

<table width="468" border="1">

  <tr>

    <td width="287">id</td>

    <td width="165">value</td>

  </tr>

  <?php do { ?>

    <tr>

      <td><?php echo $row_Recordset1['id']; ?></td>

      <td><?php echo "<td style='background-color: " . ( $row_Recordset1['Value'] == 1 ? 'red' : 'white' ) . ";'>{$row_Recordset1['Value']}</td>"; ?></td>

     

    </tr>

    <?php } while ($row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1)); ?>

</table>

 

 

 

Can anyone suggest how to make the table align? Also, what about multiple criteria e.g. 1 = red, 2 = blue, 3 = green etc etc.....?

You're printing a TD cell inside a TD cell.
