Re: that table-row-color-switching thing - again!

I think this is actually nicer... a one-liner :-) while(...) { $color = ($count++ % 2) ? "#eeeeee" : "#ffffff"; } since you might want to use the count for something else (or you might already have it)... And the mod operator (that's the %) works for more than two colors too... $colors = array( "blue", "red", "green" ); while(...) { $color = $colors[ $count++ % count( $colors ) ]; } Regards, Sebastian "Derek Sivers" <list@hitmedia.com> wrote in message news:4.2.0.58.20001201232700.009e1920@mail.cdbaby.com... > just to beat a dead horse... > > here's the most efficient way I've found to change HTML table row colors as > you loop through an array of info: > > > $row = 1-$row; > $color = ($row==0)?"#eeeeee":"#ffffff"; > > > that's it. just those two lines.
