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

Does your color code show in the HTML source code? If so, then it's an
HTML problem!

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.

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;

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

using

a

color value instead of variable).

The context is :: for formatting an XML doc.

$test='#FFFFFF';

echo "<td width=\"33%\" bgcolor=\"".$test."\">";

Any help much appreciated,
Adam.
