Is it possible that this server doesn't like batch queries? Try
splitting them out into individual queries and seeing if that helps. If
that doesn't do the trick, print out the SQL query string to see if it's
what you expect. It might be working fine on the other server, but I've
seen enough strange things happen before to know that sometimes 'poo'
happens.

Yeah, like that keeps presentation separate from data while making
things simpler, right? I don't think so.
Embedding styling attributes in html is simply not following best practices.
For example, if you have 100 pages of the above embedded code and the
client says Hey, let's change the color of that table -- then you
are going to have to change 100 pages of code whereas if you followed
best practices then you would change only one rule in css.

This thread came up before, and tedd's solution was the least complex,
as far as I could tell. I shamelessly stole his code and regularly use
it in my own projects. ;-}
Or if one choose to use Smarty template.
tr bgcolor={cycle values=#ee,#d0d0d0}
http://www.smarty.net/manual/en/language.function.cycle.phphttp://www.smarty.net/manual/en/language.function.cycle.php
Yeah, like that keeps presentation separate from data while making
things simpler, right? I don't think so.
Embedding styling attributes in html is simply not following best
practices.
For example, if you have 100 pages of the above embedded code and the
client says Hey, let's change the color of that table -- then you
are going to have to change 100 pages of code whereas if you followed
best practices then you would change only one rule in css.
Cheers,

I agree. Inline styles are useful in a few fringe cases, but if you
can avoid them then it's best practice to do so.

The only fringe cases I can think of are those that could be solved
by using a span tag.
Do you have any examples otherwise?

RE: [PHP] Two color rows in table inside while iteration -- just say no to mod
-Original Message-
From: Ashley Sheridan [mailto:a...@ashleysheridan.co.uk]
Modulus is the most elegant solution I reckon. Imagine if you only
needed to highlight every 3rd row, or 4th? Easy to change the modulus
for it, not so easy to re-work a binary switch.
-Original Message-
From: Richard Quadling [mailto:rquadl...@googlemail.com]
The modulus is a good option when there are more than 2 states.
Say a 5 row fade ...
$a=0;
while ($row=mysql_fetch_...){
echo tr class=??\alternate-row-.(1 + (++$a%5)).\...
}
giving alternate-row-1, alternate-row-2, alternate-row-3,
alternate-row-4 and alternate-row-5
Okay, how many tables do you EVER see with more than TWO colors? Come on
now.
Show me some URL's to REAL sites (not some contrived examples) that use
multiple row colors or fades in a rotating fashion. Not talking about a
highlight roll-over, nor am I talking about highlighting rows of certain
criteria in different colors, as both of those are not the problem for this
solution. I'm talking about a straight up table that cycles each row more
than 2 colors.
99% of your tables are 2 colors, and flipping a bit (i.e. Boolean) is WAY
faster to compute than modulus and also easier to understand.

I can't think of any right now, but I know that on occassion I've used
inline styles where I know that the style will never be repeated and was
a one-off style to just perform a quick fix. I know it's a messy thing
to do, but I'm sure there must be a good reason for them somewhere!

[PHP] multi dimensional array question
hello everybody here is my array(s)
$us_census = array('NY' = array('New York' = 8008278),

'San Diego' =
1223400),
'IL' = array('Chicago' = 2896016),
'TX' = array('Houston' = 1953631,
'Dallas' =
1188580,

'PA' = array('Philadelphia' = 1517550),
'AZ' = array('Phoenix' = 1321045),
'MI' = array('Detroit' = 951270));
print
tabletrthState/ththCity/ththPopulation/ththTotal/th/tr;
// $state is the key and $states is the value
foreach ($us_census as $state = $cities) {
// $state is the key and $habitant is the value

Now i also want to be able to count the total population per state, i am
stucked...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXhKzY0BKwY ;-) (I say that out of

A bit of a contrived example... BUT... I could envision having
multiple (more then 2) colors on a blog with comments...
Maybe it's a patriotic blog and they want the comments to cycle
between red, white blue... (Or your countries colors) And yes I know
that you could assume white is a default... But I know some people who
have the default color of their web browser set to bright pink to
point out where rules aren't specifically assigned :)
And unless we are adding a multiple seconds to the load time is anyone
going to notice a difference of 1 second? Or am I wrong?
Also... I'm not trying to start a fight... Just trying to understand
the different possibilities and the impact :) Hoping to write the next
facebook eventually But aren't we all? ;)

Re: [PHP] multi dimensional array question
thanks Piero!
i was trying to solve an excercise on learning php5 (O'reilyl) book.
I am happy abotut his solution with the array_sum funtion you suggested, and my
multidimensional array make much more sense to mee then they suggested solution
that also much more line of code comapred...
look: my solution (with Piero suggeston): and ont he bottom the book solution.
what do u say is the best one? why? i am learning so i am interested in
understanding why a solution can be better then an other...

Is it possible that this server doesn't like batch queries? Try
splitting them out into individual queries and seeing if that helps. If
