Hi all, i Fixed it . just so someone else has this issue, here is what i did 

<?php
/* Attempt MySQL server connection. Assuming you are running MySQL
server with default setting (user 'root' with no password) */
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "xxx", "xxx", "xxxxx");

// Check connection
if($link === false){
    die("ERROR: Could not connect. " . mysqli_connect_error());
}

// Attempt select query execution
$sql = "SELECT * FROM datalog";
if($result = mysqli_query($link, $sql)){
    if(mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0){
        echo "<table>";
            echo "<tr>";
                echo "<th>id</th>";
                echo "<th>datecol</th>";
                echo "<th>timecol</th>";
                echo "<th>TrolleyID</th>";
                echo "<th>status</th>";
            echo "</tr>";
        while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){


          $stat=$row['trolleyID'];
            if($stat=="000000")
            {
                $color="color:red";
                $text="BAD READ";
            }
            else 
            {
                $color="color:green";
                $text="GOOD READ";
            }




            echo "<tr>";
                echo "<td>" . $row['id'] . "</td>";
                echo "<td>" . $row['datecol'] . "</td>";
                echo "<td>" . $row['timecol'] . "</td>";
                echo "<td>" . $row['trolleyID'] . "</td>";
                echo "<td style='$color'>".$text."</td>";


            echo "</tr>";
        }
        echo "</table>";
        // Free result set
        mysqli_free_result($result);
    } else{
        echo "No records matching your query were found.";
    }
} else{
    echo "ERROR: Could not able to execute $sql. " . mysqli_error($link);
}

// Close connection
mysqli_close($link);
?><?php
