Re: html table

I use a slightly different technique... Defined in database or global file: $tblbgcolor1="FFFFFF"; $tblbgcolor2="FFFFCC"; Program Loop to create the table: $altcolor=$tblbgcolor2; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($Query)) { if ($altcolor==$tblbgcolor2) $altcolor=$tblbgcolor1; else $altcolor=$tblbgcolor2; echo "<TR bgcolor='#$altcolor'><TD>Text to display on Row</TD></TR>"; } (this loops through rows fetched from a mysql table, but can be any kind of loop) Best regards, Randy Thursday, January 25, 2001, 3:57:47 PM, you wrote: BVB> $color = "tan"; BVB> FOR ($i=0 ; $i < $numrows ; $i++) { BVB> if ( ($i % 2) == 0 ) { BVB> ECHO ("\n<TR>"); BVB> } else { BVB> ECHO ("\n<TR BGCOLOR=$color>"); BVB> } BVB> } >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Rasmus Lerdorf [mailto:rasmus@php.net] >> Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2001 4:19 PM >> To: Mike >> Cc: php-general@lists.php.net >> Subject: Re: [PHP] html table >> >> >> > How do I get every other column to be a different color (or >> font ect.)when >> > I'm populating a table from a db(different field counts all the time) >> >> If $i is a counter then $i%2 will alternate between 0 and 1 >> >> $i%3 would cycles through 0,1 and 2 >> >> -Rasmus >> >> >> -- >> PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net >> For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net >> To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net >> >>
