Re: [PHP4BETA] A (Hopefully) simple question *gulp*

David, >Yup. Initialise a counter then increment it for each table row you >display. Then, on each row, test the counter value mod 2. If the result >is zero, use one colour for row background, otherwise use the other >colour. Here's another simple way to let the colors do the work. It can be made into a pretty sick one-liner :) <? $color1 = "#ffffff"; $color2 = "#E1DAC1"; ?> <TABLE BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=1 CELLPADDING=1> <TR> <TH>Blah</TH><TH>Blah2</TH> </TR> <? $color = ""; for ($i=0;$i < $num; $i++) { $color = ($color == $color1) ? $color2 : $color1; echo "<tr bgcolor=\"$color\"><td>yada</td><td>spew</td></tr> // more stuff } ?> </table> Cheers, John -- /* SteeleSoft Consulting John Steele - Systems Analyst/Programmer * We also walk dogs... jsteele@writeme.com * http://www.gamecomputer.com/ssc/ */
