Thanks that worked i see i had an extra ; in it compared to yours I was able to add a second if statement but get an error on the 3rd option is there anything special rules for more than 2 if statements


if ($_task['task_status'] == 'New') {
$dat[6]['style'] = 'background-color:#008000';
} else {
if ($_task['task_status'] == 'Completed')
$dat[6]['style'] = 'background-color:#FC0000';
} else {
if ($_task['task_status'] == 'Pending')
$dat[6]['style'] = 'background-color:#FFFF00';
}

"background-color: #FC0000;";

This would make no difference, it is part of the css not the php but it is only necessary if you have further css rules following it, eg "background-color: #FC0000; width: 50px; padding: 25px";

if ($_task['task_status'] == 'New') {
$dat[6]['style'] = 'background-color:#008000';
} else if($_task['task_status'] == 'Completed') {
$dat[6]['style'] = 'background-color:#FC0000';
} else if ($_task['task_status'] == 'Pending') {
$dat[6]['style'] = 'background-color:#FFFF00';
} else {
// catches everything else
$dat[6]['style'] = 'background-color:#FFFFFF';
}

Use "else if" for each if until the last one which can be just "else" to catch everything. Brackets are also in the wrong places
