How do you alternate colors of the rows in a table inside a while
statement when dealing with the output of data from a DB. I am sure it's
something simple but I keep getting into some really long math thing...

Thanks. I will give it a shot. I have never seen anything written like that.
Can you give me a brief explanation of what it means?

Thanks again.

 Break it down:

 $color = whatever  (we don't care right now)

 That whatever is:  ($color == FF)? EAEAEA : FF

 And that says:  Evaluate the (current) variable $color.

 Is it FF?  if so, change it to EAEAEA, otherwise make it FF

 $color == FF ? (yes) change to EAEAEA : (no) make it FF

  How do you alternate colors of the rows in a table inside a 
  while statement
  when dealing with the output of data from a DB. I am sure 
  it's something
  simple but I keep getting into some really long math thing...

For two alternating colours I normally do something like this:

$use_col = #00FF00;

While (some = condition)
{
  echo using $use_col;
  if ($use_col == #00FF00)
  {
$use_col = #FF;
  } else {
$use_col = #00FF00;
  }
}

Basically, set a colour to use, then in your while loop you see if it is
one of the colour, if it is change it to the other.  If it isn't the
colour you tested for then it's already the other colour so change it
back.

CYA, Dave
