Re: ARRRRGGGGHHHH! Weird Problems!

What is the purpose of using the for loop? if I may make a suggestion for using the while loop. The code would look something like this: <?php $color=1; while ($lyric_array = mysql_fetch_array($lyrics)) { $comments = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM comments WHERE resource_id = $lyric_array[0]"); $num_comments = mysql_num_rows($comments); if ($color == 1) { $rowcolor = "#DFDFDF"; $color ++; } else { $rowcolor = "#FFFFFF"; $color --; } echo "<tr bgcolor=\""; echo "\"><td><a href=\"view.php?id=$lyric_array[0]\">$lyric_array[1]</a></td>"; echo "<td>$lyric_array[3]</td>"; echo "<td>$num_comments</td>"; echo "<td>$lyric_array[2]</td>"; echo "<td><a href=\"$lyric_array[4]\">Buy at Amazon.com</td></tr>"; $ltotalv = $ltotalv + $lyric_array[3]; } ?> I was looking at the current code and wasn't seeing the purpose for the for loop. If I'm incorrect and you are using it for a specific purpose, please let me know. -aaron "Tony Harrison" <tonyh21@tharrison21.fsnet.co.uk> wrote in message news:20020801191202.73718.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > OK, the color works, but now I have 2 empty lines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! > > "Tony Harrison" <tonyh21@tharrison21.fsnet.co.uk> wrote in message > news:20020801170900.62874.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > > Thanx, I havent tried the loop yet, but the color will work im sure . > > > > "Aaron Ott" <aaron_ott@hotmail.com> wrote in message > > news:20020801032331.86011.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > > > tony, > > > > > > regarding problem one, it looks like there is a problem in the code > near: > > > for ($g = 0; $g < $num_lyrics; $g ++) { > > > > > > try doing: > > > for ($g = 0; $g <= $num_lyrics; $g ++) { > > > > > > As for problem two, it looks like you have your color variable set in > the > > > for loop thereby resetting the color variable to 1 with each pass: > > > for ($g = 0; $g < $num_lyrics; $g ++) { > > > $color = 1; > > > if ($color == 1) { $rowcolor = "#DFDFDF"; $color ++; } else { $rowcolor= > > > "#FFFFFF"; $color --; } > > > ... > > > } > > > > > > > > > "Tony Harrison" <tonyh21@tharrison21.fsnet.co.uk> wrote in message > > > news:20020731181502.56031.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > > > > OK, im having some minor problems with my site. > > > > In artist.php (http://members.lycos.co.uk/ajohnh/artist.php - Source > at: > > > > > > > > http://members.lycos.co.uk/ajohnh/source/artist.txt) If for example > you > > > view > > > > lyrics by Weird Al Yankovic > > > > (http://members.lycos.co.uk/ajohnh/artist.php?id=1) You'll see that > the > > > > bottom lyric (The Sage Begins) does not display.
