Il try and explain it at bit better for you .

I have create a table within phpadmin called errors where people log a error via a php/html form . One of the value which needs to be submitted on the form is - status E.g Low medium High .

Then i have a page which lists all the errors contained the mysql table . The page is displayed as a table which each indvidual error .

How do i go about turning the status cell in this table to red if high has be inserted .

Hope that has explained it better

Thanks Amyj

I haven't seen your code, so I must guess. Assuming that you have the value (low, medium, high) stored from $_POST into a variable named $risk, and you build the <td> entries yourself, you can build the table entry to-be-colored like:
[php]
$style = '';
if ($risk == 'high')
$style=' style="background-color:red;" ';
echo "<td$style>$risk</td>";[/php]
