I run a news and review website using wordpress and I need some help, when reviewing items on our site we do a score our of 100% on our custom fields, the custom field is titled "Score" and in the box we write the % ie. 95%...

What we want to do is change the colour of the score on the website dependant on what the score is ie. 1%-25% would be red, 26%-50% orange, 51%-75% light green and then 76%-100% in heavy green thus giving the users a colour chart to follow alongside the score.

The code I'm using at the moment to pull the custom field data is as follows...

<div class="reviewscore"><?php $values = get_post_custom_values ("Score"); echo $values[0]; ?></div>

If anyone could help me with this I would be extremely grateful!

Thanks for your time.

This question is a PHP question, not a WordPress specific question, since no WP knowledge is required to fix it. Also you didn't mention what form your percentage is, e.g. 0.5, 50%, 50 – Tom J Nowell Aug 28 '12 at 10:17
Hi @TomJNowell , the %'s go up in 0.5 increments for instance 75.5% So will my question go unanswered here because it's php related? – Dave Burns Aug 28 '12 at 11:31
It should be moved elsewhere, like the main SO site, because it's a general PHP question rather than one that requires WordPress expertise. Are you saying that if I printed $values[0] I would get "75.5"? Or are you saying I would get "75.5%"? – Tom J Nowell Aug 28 '12 at 12:07
It would print 75.5% – Dave Burns Aug 28 '12 at 12:17
okay, you should save it as 75.5 instead, and just append % when printing. Basically, remove the % then if(percentage < 25){ use colour X } else if (percentage < 50){ use colour Y } else if (percentage < 75 ){ use colour Z } else { use that other colour } – Tom J Nowell Aug 28 '12 at 13:17
