[SOLVED] Making something echo for every other in a LOOP

[dsaba]

hello!

 

normally i am echoing data from my database in a while statement:

while ($queryrow = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {

echo 'some data';

}

 

It everything in those brackets always echoes the same for each iteration of that loop

 

I wanted to do something like here in the SMF forums that when it shows replies to a topic, every other reply is in a different color background, blue and light blue

 

This means it will echo one kind of data every other time in the loop.

 

How can I do that with a while statement, or perhaps another kind of loop?

 

-thanks

i guess if I use for() function

 

and make it loop for a cetain $i or times

 

then I could identify the "every other loop" as an odd or even number

 

how could I do that?

or perhaps there is a better way to do I'm getting at here?

[dsaba]

is_odd($number) {

return $number % 2 == 1 ? true : false;

}

 

 

i'm using a for loop

for every odd i echo something different

 

thats how i'm doing it, if this helps anyone else
