php code not writing or working?

[benq]

hi

i,m basicaly trying to colour the columns when the user picks from the dropdownlist and radio buttons here is the code:

 
if (isset($_SESSION['radiobutton1']))
{
if ($_SESSION['radiobutton1'] == 'chocolate'){
$colour = "#D2691E";
}elseif ($_SESSION['radiobutton1'] == 'forestgreen'){
$colour = "#228B22";
}elseif ($_SESSION['radiobutton1'] == 'turquoise'){
 $colour = "#00DED1";
}
}

if (isset($_SESSION['checkbox10'])) {
fwrite($handle,'<td><xsl:value-of select="fgeu_code"/></td>'."\n");
}else{
if($_SESSION['dropdown'] == "fgeu_code") {
fwrite($handle,'<td bgcolor=\"$colour\"><xsl:value-of select="fgeu_code"/></td>'."\n");
}  

but is not working or wrtiting the lines when it does it only writes:

<td><xsl:value-of select="fgeu_code"/></td>

not:

<td bgcolor="#D2691E"><xsl:value-of select="fgeu_code" /></td>

can anyone see why?

thanks for your time

If you add some identation to your code, and perhaps tidy up the last conditional to use an 'elseif' rather than your (incorrectly) nested block you get:

if (isset($_SESSION['checkbox10']))
{
  fwrite($handle,'<td><xsl:value-of select="fgeu_code"/></td>'."\n");
}
elseif ($_SESSION['dropdown'] == "fgeu_code")
{
  fwrite($handle, '<td bgcolor=\"$colour\"><xsl:value-of select="fgeu_code"/></td>' . "\n");
}

This meas that if a session variable called checkbox10 exists at all then "<td><xsl:value-of select="fgeu_code"/></td>" will be written to the file. If it doesn't exist and if the session variable dropdown has the value "fgeu_code", then the string '<td bgcolor=\"$colour\"><xsl:value-of select="fgeu_code"/> </td>' will be written to the file.

Therefore, it must be the case the session variable checkbox10 exists.
