This may be a dumb question, but did you actually fetch the db query's results
and put them in $row before trying to use $row? In MySQL you could do
something like:
$query = select * from my_table;
$result = mysql_query($query);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result); //this

I am trying to style HTML table cells depending on the values stored in

Does it contain a string like you expect?
Yes. I'm going to try the same kind of formatting on a different $row
cell and see what happens.

Copying back
To add to what Ashley said about $row[3], remember that when you are
returning from the db the counter for fields will start at 0 not 1, so if
its the 3rd field that will be $row[2]. You might also want to do switch
rather then elseif but thats always a good debate.

Sorry. I'll remember to copy in...
what does your code currently look like now, with the right == in?
$entree=meat;
$beverage=coffee;
if ($row[3] == $entree)

$newcolor=color:red;
}
elseif ($row[3] == $beverage)

I played with this for a while and checked the PHP manual; not sure how

As Mike pointed out, I meant var_dump(), sorry!
Is the idea to put the variable in question within the parentheses?
I tried the statement,
var_dump($row[3];
And I got in the output:
NULL
Also tried
var_dump();
And I got in the output:

I inserted this line in the script at the end of the html table, still
inside the PHP echo statement.
This yields:
