I’m trying to use if-statement to change <td>-s color.

Basically, I have a simple query to retrieve information from the database.
Additionaly, I have a column there which keeps the information like if the task is accomplished or not. When I retrieve the information I get all of them, but I need the accomplished tasks to be green, and others without any color.

I’ve searhed for the answer, but I couldn’t find anything that satisfies me.

For example:

$qry = mysql_query("select * from table");
$recs = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($qry))
$recs[]=$row;
mysql_free_result($qry);

I’ve tried to add while statement to the code above, but I was confused and it didnt work 🙁

I’m printing the results using heredoc:
How to give them color here?

<?php 
$last_id=0;
foreach($recs as $rec)
{   
    $html=<<<HTML
<tr>
<td><b>Номер</b></td>
<td>$rec[0]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Номер документа</b></td>
<td>$rec[1]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Дата регистрации</b></td>
<td>$rec[8]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>От кого</b></td>
<td>$rec[2]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>По</b></td>
<td>$rec[4]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Краткое содержание</b></td>
<td>$rec[3]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Исполнитель</b></td>
<td>$rec[5]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Срок исполнения</b></td>
<td>$rec[6]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Срок исполнения продлен до</b></td>
<td><b>$rec[10]</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Прислан</b></td>
<td>$rec[9]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Примечание</b></td>
<td>$rec[7]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#838B83">&nbsp;</td>
<td bgcolor="#838B83">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
HTML;
    print $html;        
    if($rec[0]>$last_id)
        $last_id=$rec[0];
};
$new_id=$last_id+1;
?>

    I would suggest you to use ternary operator, rather than using IF statement, or your could use another workaround to use arrays to define colors, this would help you to define various colors for each status value globally, please find an example below:

    $aryColor = array(
 'complete' => 'green',
 'incomplete' => "red",
 'pending' => 'orange'
 .....
);
//you can specify values for all of your status, or leave them blank for no color, the keys in the array are the possible values from your status field
foreach($recs as $rec) {
 echo '<tr bgcolor="'.$aryColor[$rec['status_field']].'">
 <td>'.$rec['title_field'].'</td>
 </tr>';
}

    I hope this helps you out, and you can easily edit this for HEREDOC.
