Alternating Color and adding a spacer/divider

[HDFilmMaker2112]

I need help adding the following into my pagination code:

 

This first snippet formats a divider "|" into a certain color:

(Includes question marks because I'm not sure what to use.)

$i = 0;
for($i=?; $i=?; $i++){
echo "";
if($i%2 == 0){
echo '<span class="bold"> | </span>';
$i++;
}
else
{
echo '<span class="bold grey"> | </span>';
$i++;
}
} 

 

I need to some how integrate that into this:

 

// How many adjacent pages should be shown on each side?
$adjacents = 3;

/* 
First get total number of rows in data table. 
If you have a WHERE clause in your query, make sure you mirror it here.
*/

$query5 = "SELECT COUNT(*) as num FROM $tbl_name WHERE product_category='$cat'";
$total_pages = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($query5));
$total_pages = $total_pages[num];

/* Setup vars for query. */
$targetpage = "store.php?cat=".$_GET['cat']; 	//your file name  (the name of this file)
$limit = $num_products_per_page;		//how many items to show per page
$page = $_GET['page'];
if($page){
$start = ($page - 1) * $limit; 			//first item to display on this page
}
else{
$start = 0;								//if no page var is given, set start to 0
}

/* Get data. */
$sql30 = "SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE product_category='$cat' ORDER BY $sort_by_selected LIMIT $start, $limit";
$result30 = mysql_query($sql30) or die("Problem with the query: $sql30<br>" . mysql_error());

/* Setup page vars for display. */
if ($page == 0){ $page = 1; }				//if no page var is given, default to 1.
$prev = $page - 1;							//previous page is page - 1
$next = $page + 1;							//next page is page + 1
$lastpage = ceil($total_pages/$limit);		//lastpage is = total pages / items per page, rounded up.
$lpm1 = $lastpage - 1;						//last page minus 1

/* 
Now we apply our rules and draw the pagination object. 
We're actually saving the code to a variable in case we want to draw it more than once.
*/
$pagination = "";
if($lastpage > 1){
$pagination .= "<div class=\"pagination\">";
//previous button
if ($page > 1){
$pagination.= '<a href="'.$targetpage.'&page='.$prev.'">&#171; Previous</a>   ';
}
else{
$pagination.= "";
}

//pages	
if ($lastpage < 7 + ($adjacents * 2))	//not enough pages to bother breaking it up
{
	for ($counter = 1; $counter <= $lastpage; $counter++)
	{
		if ($counter == $page){
		$pagination.= "<span class=\"current\">$counter</span>";
		}
		else{
		$pagination.= '<a href="'.$targetpage.'&page='.$counter.'">'.$counter.'</a>';					
		}
	}
}
elseif($lastpage > 5 + ($adjacents * 2))	//enough pages to hide some
{
//close to beginning; only hide later pages
	if($page < 1 + ($adjacents * 2)){
		for ($counter = 1; $counter < 4 + ($adjacents * 2); $counter++){
			if ($counter == $page){
			$pagination.= "<span class=\"current\">$counter</span>";
			}
			else{
			$pagination.= '<a href="'.$targetpage.'&page='.$counter.'">'.$counter.'</a>';					
			}
		}
	$pagination.= "...";
	$pagination.= '<a href="'.$targetpage.'&page='.$lpm1.'">'.$lpm1.'</a>';
	$pagination.= '<a href="'.$targetpage.'&page='.$lastpage.'">'.$lastpage.'</a>';		
	}
	//in middle; hide some front and some back
	elseif($lastpage - ($adjacents * 2) > $page && $page > ($adjacents * 2)){
	$pagination.= '<a href="'.$targetpage.'&page=1">1</a>';
	$pagination.= '<a href="'.$targetpage.'&page=2">2</a>';
	$pagination.= "...";
		for ($counter = $page - $adjacents; $counter <= $page + $adjacents; $counter++){
			if ($counter == $page){
			$pagination.= "<span class=\"current\">$counter</span>";
			}
			else{
			$pagination.= '<a href="'.$targetpage.'&page='.$counter.'">'.$counter.'</a>';					
			}
		}
	$pagination.= "...";
	$pagination.= '<a href="'.$targetpage.'&page='.$lpm1.'">'.$lpm1.'</a>';
	$pagination.= '<a href="'.$targetpage.'&page='.$lastpage.'">'.$lastpage.'</a>';		
	}
	//close to end; only hide early pages
	else
	{
	$pagination.= '<a href="'.$targetpage.'&page=1">1</a>';
	$pagination.= '<a href="'.$targetpage.'&page=2">2</a>';
	$pagination.= "...";
		for ($counter = $lastpage - (2 + ($adjacents * 2)); $counter <= $lastpage; $counter++)
		{
			if ($counter == $page){
			$pagination.= '<span class="current">'.$counter.'</span>';
			}
			else{
			$pagination.= '<a href="'.$targetpage.'&page='.$counter.'">'.$counter.'</a>';					
			}
		}
	}
}

//next button
if ($page < $counter - 1){
$pagination.= '   <a href="'.$targetpage.'&page='.$next.'">Next &#187;</a>';
$pagination.= "</div>\n";
}
else{
$pagination.= "";
$pagination.= "</div>\n";		
}
}

 

So I end up with it formatted like this:

 

1 | 2 | 3  Next >>

 

With every other "|" divider line being grey-ish color.

I guess my only option is something like this?:

 

$pagination= $counter%2 == 0 ? '<span style="font-weight: bold;">' : '<span style="font-weight: bold; font-color: grey;">';
$pagination.=' | </span>';

 

Inside each if/else statement under each for statement.

 

Would be easier if I could apply that to variable once and just place the variable under each for statement; but there seems to be no way to carry an if/else statement in a variable and then have it function as a statement, not a string.
