How about :
<?php
$rowNum = 0;
$bg = array("#CCCCCC", "#FFFFFF");
run query
while ( query_results)
{
?>
<tr bgcolor="<?=$bg[$rowNum]?>">
<td>...
<?php
$rowNum = ($rowNum==0)?1:0;
}
?>
I normally use a CSS stylesheet with entries called tableRow0 and
tableRow1 and then have the <TR> as:
<TR CLASS="tableRow<?=$rowNum?>">
