Re: How to format every secound row in a database result

Or you could simply test the $color variable to see its contents, and change it if it's what you expected: $color = "#FFFFFF"; if($color = "#FFFFFF") { $color = "#000000"; //output } else { $color = "#FFFFFF"; } There may be something inherently wrong in this approach, but it has always worked for me. :o) Martin Austin Miles Thompson <miles@allnovascotia.com> 03/30/2005 10:18 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net cc: Subject: Re: [PHP] How to format every secound row in a database result Maintain a counter as you display the returned results. Mod the counter by 2 (rowcounter % 2), set colour according to presence / absence of a remainder.
