Well, it could be this, too:
switch( $_REQUEST['id'] ) {
case "white":
echo "Right color.";
break;
case "black":
echo "Right color.";
break;
default:
echo "Wrong color.";
break;
}

Shouldn't that be this instead:
if (($_REQUEST['id'] != "black") OR ($_REQUEST['id'] !=
"white")) {
echo "wrong color";
} else {
echo "right color";
}
