[SOLVED] Switch TR color in a while loop by evens or odds

[iceman023]

I have a table that is in a while loop

 

$numrowsC = mysql_num_rows($newStatement); while ($newData = mysql_fetch_array($newStatement))
{
	echo "<table width='864' border='5' align='center' bgcolor='#F4F4F4' bordercolor='#000000' fontcolor='#000000' cellspacing='5' cellpadding='5'>";
	echo "<tr>";

 

is there anyway i can add a switch within the loop and change the background color of the rows... maybe something like IF odd number from $numrowsC it will be blue and if even it will be red.. something like that...

try sumfin like this:

 

<?php
$loop = 1;
while (your condition) {
  $loop++;
  if ($loop % 2) $trcolor = 'blue';
  else $trcolor = 'red';
}
?>
