Re: Returning Rows Question

here's one way, set a variable and switch it on and off $tr_properties = 'style="background-color: grey;"'; while( $ect = etc ) {

    if($tr_properties){
        print "<tr $tr_properties>";

$tr_properties = false;

    } else {
        print "<tr>";

$tr_properties = 'style="background-color: grey;"';

    }

} you sould refine the code and simplify it but that is basic principle. joshua Christopher J. Crane wrote:

How do you alternate colors of the rows in a table inside a while statement when dealing with the output of data from a DB. I am sure it's something simple but I keep getting into some really long math thing...
