Re: how to say "inverse your value" (to a boolean)?

What a lot of good ideas spawned from the OP! I am learning many things,.. while also actually working (paying bills), so I regularly have to just go with what I know well. Anyway, I already have the forearch { loop (for other reasons it is necessary), and I only needed one color to alternate with the default white.. so I used this: forearch { ... $tableRowBGcolorBoolCounter = !$tableRowBGcolorBoolCounter; //-boolean on and off (which then sticks in one CSS class or another for that <tr>. thanks for everyone's feedback. -John
