Hi,

Unless you HAVE to do it with php i would do this with the following code.

<input type="button" name="colr" value="BLUE"
onclick="document.bgColor='#0000FF'">
<input type="button" name="colr" value="RED"
onclick="document.bgColor='#FF0000'">
<input type="button" name="colr" value="GREEN"
onclick="document.bgColor='#00FF00'">
<input type="button" name="colr" value="WHITE"
onclick="document.bgColor='#FFFFFF'">
<input type="button" name="colr" value="BLACK"
onclick="document.bgColor='#000000'">


Paste that into a webdoc and test!

Thanks,

Luke.
