I don't know what is going wrong, the practical application with colorselect.html is not working properly. I tried changing GET to POST and putting the @extract($_POST) on the color.php file but still nothing, it's not changing anything.
Any help?

Hi Super G,

This is what it's giving me on the Address Bar when I select "Yellow" on the colorselect.html.

http://localhost/color.php?color=Yellow

but my problem is that the color is not actually changing on the page (this is when I use @extract($_GET) on the color.php file.).

It gives me
http://localhost/color.php

When I use @extract($_POST) on the color.php file

Does anyone see what can be the problem?

hi arminez.
Try putting the @extract($_GET) just below the <?php of your color.php and type everything else as in the masterskill book.

Clicking submit query in http://localhost/colorselect.html should give you the desired result.

Otherwise I think you will get http://localhost/color.php with no color change if you just type http://localhost/color.php in your browser.

Post your color.php code so we can help.

Good luck

HiSandile this is my color.php codes

<?php
@extract($_GET);
switch ($color) {
case "yellow":
$bgcolor="#FFCC00";
break;
case "blue":
$bgcolor="#4682B4";
break;
case "silver":
$bgcolor="#C0C0C0";
break;
case "beige":
$bgcolor="#FFE4C4";
break;
}
echo "<html>";
echo "<head><title>Selected Background Page</title></head>";
echo "<body bgcolor='$bgcolor'>";
echo "</body>";
echo "</html>";
?>

Hope it will help find the problem, because all I get is:
http://localhost/color.php?color=Yellow on the address bar, but no color.

Hi Arminez,

Write (in color.php) "yellow" as "Yellow", "blue" as "Blue", etc and everything will be fine.

Hope this helps.

Hi Sandile,
I have tried changing the case of the first letters as you suggested but still I'm having the same problem.

I copied the code from your last posting as is and changed the "yellow" to "Yellow", etc and everything worked as expected.

Did you change anything in the colorselect.html file? Try using the original file.

Hi, Sandile it's me again
I've tried using the original colorselect.html still the same, u know when I'm using GET it's showing the code on the address bar as it's supposed to,so, I guess the codes are fine, this should perhaps be another problem that makes my PC unable to show the colors as expected.
I tried to complete task 2B, everything is ok. Maybe Mac can help in my case I guess. How can the very same codes work on your PC and not mine?

Hi Arminez!

I can't figure out what the problem is, but I took your code and corrected the cases and things worked fine. Here's the code I used.
<?php
@extract($_GET);
switch ($color) {
case "Yellow":
$bgcolor="#FFCC00";
break;
case "Blue":
$bgcolor="#4682B4";
break;
case "Silver":
$bgcolor="#C0C0C0";
break;
case "Beige":
$bgcolor="#FFE4C4";
break;
}
echo "<html>";
echo "<head><title>Selected Background Page</title></head>";
echo "<body bgcolor='$bgcolor'>";
echo "</body>";
echo "</html>";
?>
