Re: [PHP] Two color rows in table inside while iteration -- just say no to mod

Maybe more elegant since it's extendable to more than 2 states if required. Michiel

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.

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.

Ha. OK, I actually do use a bit toggle for assigning a CSS class to
the alternative rows. But I did once use % where the table represented
a top10 list.

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? ;)
