Easy enough; keep a count of how many records you have processed and use 
the modulus operator % to determine where you want to start a new <TR>

There will be at least n different ways of doing this; one would be to 
change the colour using the above test as a trigger. Another is via a 
simple ternary operator test:

$bgcolour = ($bgcolour == '#FF0000' ? '#00FF00' : '##FF0000);

In other words if $bgcolour is currently red then make it blue else make 
it red.
