simple toggle php script?

[delphi123]

Ok,

 

I've got a script that's producing rows of a table like this:

<?php 
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
$percent = $row['rating_overall']*10;
echo '<tr><td>'.$row['software_name'].'</td><td>'.$percent.'%</td></tr>';
}
?>

 

Now I want the rows to alternate,  I was going to create a variable and have two big if statements (ie if variable = 0 then do one which finishes setting it to 1 and then have another loop for the reverse...

 

but then I reckoned one of you guys would have some really clever and intuitive way that I might be able to learn from...  ;D

 

Any tips!?

What do you want to alternate? The colors?  If so use JavaScript.

yeah, what if folk have js disabled?  I figured as the server was already delivering code, then it'd make sense to just deliver an alternating css class for each row.

if ($color == $color1){
$color = $color2;
}ELSE{
$color = $color1;
}

knew there'd be a more elegant way!  I'll give it a whirl!

It's what I use and it works great.
