[SOLVED] table row colour

[verN]

I have a table and would like the row to change colours. The table uses two colours white and green. The frist row in the table should be green then white then green then white and so on.

 

How would i go about doing this thanks. I am using while() tio get the rows and storing it in a variable

 

thanks in advance

something like this should do the trick

 

$alt = 1;

 

//while(etc etc){

 

echo '<tr class="row'.$alt.'"><td>etc etc</td></tr>';

 

$alt == 2 ? $alt = 1 : $alt = 2;

 

}

<?php
$row_counter=0;

while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{

blah blah blah;

}

$row_counter++;

if($row_counter%2==0)
{
echo "\n<tr bgcolor=green>\n";
}
else
{
echo "\n<tr bgcolor=white>\n";
}
?>

tauchai83, one thing about your approach is the more rows you go through the more memory would be taken by PHP as the variable got larger.

 

Aside from this you may also try shortening your code by using

 

echo "\n<tr bgcolor='".(($row_counter%2==0) ? 'green' : 'white' )."'>\n";

 

instead of the if statement

thanks for the reminder. Many ways to do that. Thanks anyway. Programming is all about creativity and skill. Maybe at this stage, your skill is better. Hehe. cheerss..
