RE: [PHP] alternating colors

Try this: $colors = array("red", "blue", "green"); $curcolor = 0; foreach ($list as $row) { <td bgcolor=$colors[$curcolor]>....</td> $curcolor++; if( $curcolor >= count($colors) ) $curcolor = 0; } Please note that I may have messed up the syntax on the array function and the if statement; I sometimes get confused between php, perl, and a bunch of other scripting languages that I use <grin>. You'll have to adapt the code fragment to output your particular table, of course. But the basic idea is to us the bgcolor attribute of the <td> tag, and cycle thru an array of allowable colors. For speed optimization you might assign count($colors) to a variable, since it doesn't change within the loop. Good luck! - Mark -----Original Message----- From: Rodney Davis [mailto:rodney@wincubic.com] Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2000 4:33 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] alternating colors I am trying to alternate table bgcolor with each iteration of the following loop: print "<td><b>One</b></td>\n<td><b>Two</b></td>\n<td><b>Three</b></td>\n</tr>"; foreach ($list as $row) { print "<tr>\n"; print "<td> $row[one] </td>\n<td> $row[two] "; print " </td>\n<td> $row[three] </td>\n</tr>\n<tr><td colspan=3> $row[four] </td>\n</tr>\n"; print "<tr>\n<td colspan=3> $row[five] </td>\n"; print "</tr>\n"; } print "</table>"; So that every three rows will be a single grouped color different from the next three rows. Does anyone know how to do this ?
