It's so much easier to use the mod (%) operator: Ah, the alternating rowcolors.

I have a proposal that's a lot lighter on your server. I prefer this as it does not require a calculation for each row (%2), and no counter (and no numrows call). I think it will be noticably faster with longer result sets. And your code is shorter. $rowcolor=FALSE; //initialise echo '<table>'; while(...walk trough resultset...) { echo '<tr bgcolor="'

     .($rowcolor?'#FF0000':'#00ffff')
      .'"    ><td>'.$somevalue.' </td></tr>';

$rowcolor=!$rowcolor; //toggles true/false and hence the row color } echo '</table>';
