Here's what I did to get alternating row colors on a results page... I'm not
sure that I follow what you are asking, but I hope this will help you:
$color_one = "dddddd";
$color_two = "cccccc";
$row_count = 0;
// SEND QUERY
while (row = fetch array(result))
{
$row_color = ($row_count % 2) ? $color_one : $color_two;
other fields from DB
echo "<tr bgcolor=$row_color">;
echo "<td>";
echo data out
echo "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
$row_count++;
}
This is a really simple system. It uses the modulus (%) operator. If the
result of the math is even it uses color_one otherwise it uses color_two..
I found it somewhere, can't remember where right now.. But at least it works
and it's only a few lines of code!!
