Well, it could be this, too:

switch( $_REQUEST['id'] ) {
        case "white":
                echo "Right color.";
        break;

        case "black":
                echo "Right color.";
        break;

        default:
                echo "Wrong color.";
        break;
}

Shouldn't that be this instead:


      if (($_REQUEST['id'] != "black") OR ($_REQUEST['id'] !=  
"white")) {

          echo "wrong color";

      } else {

          echo "right color";

      }
