Change colors

[harkly]

I am setting up a private message board and am wondering how do I get my output to change a color on every other one?

 

Very much like the PMs of this forum.

 

          while($r = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
          $posted = date(" F j, Y",$r[posted]);

            echo "
              <div id='viewReply'>
                <div id='userID'>$r[author]</div>
                <div id='msgImage'><span class='img-shadow'><img src='img/1.JPG' height='65' width='65' border='0'></span></div>
                <div id='viewInfo'> re: <span class='text'>$r[title]</span><br>
                  on: <span class='text'>$posted</span> <br>
                  <br> Message: <span class='text'>$r[message]</span>
                </div>
              </div>
            ";
          }

 

 

Is there a tutorial for this somewhere?

There are numerous different ways to do this. Google alternating rows.
