php alternating colour menu

[ltoto]

hi

 

I want to do a dynamic php menu with alternating colours

 

so for example it would be like this

 

Home - blue

Contact - red

About - Blue

News - red

 

Just basically wondering how I would go about doing something like this?

 

Thanks

I just created this. It has pages and colours in arrays:

 

$colours = array('#0000FF', '#FF0000');
$pages = array('Home' => 'index.php', 'Contact' => 'contact.php', 'About' => 'about.php', 'News' => 'news.php');
$maxcolours = count($colours);
$i = 0;
foreach($pages as $key => $value){
echo '<a href="'.$value.'" style="color: '.$colours[$i].'">'.$key.'</a><br>';
$i++;
if($i > $maxcolours-1){
	$i = 0;
}
}

Another solution would be:

<?php
$color = '#0000FF';
$pages = array('Home' => 'index.php', 'Contact' => 'contact.php', 'About' => 'about.php', 'News' => 'news.php');
foreach($pages as $key => $value){
echo '<a href="'.$value.'" style="color: '.$color.'">'.$key.'</a><br>';
        $color = ($color == '#0000FF')?'#FF0000':'#0000FF';
}
}?>

I prefer arrays so the developer can add and take as many colours as they want
