I put the output of the database query in a table. It works fine. Now I have a need to make the alternate rows of a different color. Can someone please help me with the code? $cols = array('#ff0000','#00ff00'); $i = 0; while(your_loop_to_output_each_row) {

      echo '<tr bgcolor="'.$cols[$i%2].'"><td>$row_data</td></tr>';

} um, Rasmus, shouldn't this have a

$i++; line in the while loop? some other ways (there are many) - shortest code, you need to use a 'for' loop or add a counter $i that is increased in every loop for ($i=0; $i<=10; $i++) { echo '<tr bgcolor="'.(($i%2==0)?'red':'white')."\"><td>$i</td></tr>"; } - using a color toggle $color_toggle=false; for ($i=0;$i<10;$i++) { echo('<TR bgcolor="'.(($color_toggle=!$color_toggle)?'#D8D1E7':'white') } Of ocurse you can put the color values in variabels like $color1 and $color2, and define them at the top of the file for easier configuring.
