Simple PHP programming problem.

clint317

Here's the code:

if($admincolor != "#FFFFFF"){
$bgcolor="#000000";
}else{
$bgcolor=mysql_result($result,0,"bgcolor");
}

The mysql_result will return #FFFFFF. All admin pages have the variable $admincolor="#FFFFFF";. I want web site bg to be black and admin bg to be white.

Basically, the website has a background color in a CSS file set by the admin backend. However, the admin uses the same CSS file but I wanted it to be a different color. So I set a variable on every admin page to flag the CSS file to use a different color if the variable is set.

It works but, the website bg will randomly go from one color to the other when you refresh it alot or just surf around. How can I make it work every time?

This is a huge program, so I have to do it here this way some how.

Check it out at this page and hit the refresh about 5 times.

Refreshed your page countless times ... but no problems at all. I'm using IE6 on win98.

But, I've had this sort of problem occur before when testing with NN4 (on win98). It seems to be something to do with the cache/history ... can't be more specific than that, I'm afraid.

You probably checked it out after I changed it back to the original code. Can't have visitors seeing changing background colors.

Anyways, I took care of it like this. I'm just going to override the CSS on every page by using <body style="background-color: #FFFFFF;">. It's only about 90 pages! Sure could use an automated find and replace for files in a folder. I'll look into my Dreamweaver and see what it has.

Yup. Dreamweaver had it. Updated all 90 files in about 3 sec.'s with find and replace. Actually, I could have just added a <body... tag to the header file and been done with it. But, gotta keep the code clean, valid, and consistant, right.
