I am trying to put the results of a query into a table and want the rows to alternate between two colors (ex. bule & silver). If the query finds 25 records, than it would alternate between odd & even blue & silver until the last record.
Can anyone show me what this might look like?
Thanks in advance,
Don

here is mine:
$bgarray = array ("blue","silver");
$i = 0;
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($r
{
$j = $i % 2;
$strtdbg = $bgarray[$j];
echo "<TR>";
echo "<TD bgcolor=\"$strtdbg\">" . $row["col1"] ."</TD>";
echo "<TD bgcolor=\"$strtdbg\">" . $row["col2"] ."</TD>";
echo "</TR>";
}
OR use static variables across different scopes.

And my 2 cents worth:
**************************
<?
$i = 0;
while ($product = mysql_fetch_object($result
$color = ($i == 0) ? "#FFFFFF" : "#DDDDDD";
?>
//Print contents here
<?
$i = ($i == 1) ? 0 : 1;
}
?>
**************************
With this version there is no math being done only changing variables values.

Here is my Code Function for the two colour
function row_color($i) {
$bgcolor1 = "#eeeeee";
$bgcolor2 = "#dddddd";
if ( ($i % 2) == 0 ) {
return $bgcolor1;
} else {
return $bgcolor2;
}
}
You can change according to your need and here is the use of it
$jk=0;
while($ch2=mysql_fetch_arr
$jk++;?>
<tr bgcolor="<?=row_color($jk)
<td><font size="-1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="viewMessage.php?ID=<
<td><font size="-1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?=$ch2[2]?></
<td><font size="-1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="xyz.php?ID=<?=$ch2[1
<?}?>
all the above examples involve arithmetics.
if u r tired of arithmetics since elementary school,
try this.
<?
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)
{
echo "<TR bgcolor=\"" . gettrcolor() . "\">";
echo "<TD>" . $row["col1"] . "</TD>";
.........
echo "<TD>" . $row["coln"] . "</TD>";
echo "</TR>";
}
function gettrcolor()
{
static $trbg;
if ($trbg == "silver") {$trbg = "blue" } else {$trbg = "silver"}
return $trbg;
}
?>

That is:
<TABLE BORDER=1>
<?php
$cnt = 0;
while ( ! $db->endofData() ) {
$data = $db->getrows(); // read data from table row by row
if (($cnt++)%2) $color="#AAAAAA"; // Almost Silver
else $color="#CCCCFF"; // Light Blue
print "<TR><TD bgcolor=$color>$data</TD><
}
?>
</TABLE>
