[SOLVED] PHP List, different colors

[daveoffy]

I want to make a list of things such as on https://www.scriptlance.com/programmers/projects.shtml. I know how to pull data from database. But how do I make every other one a different colour. Such as Gray, Light Gray, Gray, Light Gray... etc.

$get_rows = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `list_of_things`");

$i = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($get_rows)){
     if($i % 2 == 0){
          $bg_color = 'light-grey';
     } else {
          $bg_color = 'grey';
     }

     //echo information you want displayed

     $i++;
}

Will this also work?

 

$Color = #FFFFFF;
while (1) {
echo '<div style="background-color: '.$Color.'">Hello</div>';
  if ($Color == #FFFFFF) {
  $Color = #555555 
  }elseif ($Color == #555555) {
  $Color = #FFFFFF
  }
}

Yes, it will. But don't forget to quote the actual hex colors.

 

Although, you've created an infinite loop there...

<?php
$c="#cccccc";
while ($i <10) {
echo '<p style="background-color:' . (($c == "#cccccc") ? $c = "#eeeeee" : $c = "#cccccc") . ';">Paragraph</p>';
$i++;
}
?>
