What I usually do is something like this:
if ($colour == "blue") $colour = "red" else $colour = "blue";
Then the bit where you actually output display you use $colour to set
display attributes and

Ok I got it now... This exhibits the behaviour I was looking for, and,
thanks to you, is much easier to read and maintain! :)))
Thanks, Shaun!

Thanks! I'll play with this!!! :)

Yet even more ways to do it:
$i = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$bgcolor = ($i++ & 1) ? '#ff' : '#00';
}
Or more then two:
$colors = array('black','green','blue','yellow');
$i = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$bgcolor = $colors[$i++ % 4]

U... $lastIndex++, don't want to start on the second entry :)
Cheers,

The more generic approach:
function getNextColour( &$lastIndex, $colourList )
{
return $colourList[(++$lastIndex % count( $colourList ))];
}
$colours = array
(
'#ff',
'#00ff00',
'#ff'
);
$index = 0;
foreach( $rows as $aRow )
{
echo ''
.$aRow
.''."\n";
While everyone's kicking in ideas...
I don't think modulus (as someone else suggested) is that expensive, but I
think this is the cheapest:
$evenodd = 0;
$color[0] = '#cc';
$color[1] = '#99';
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($st))
{
print "{$row['whatever']}";
$evenodd =
[snip]
Is there a way for me to do one of the following:
1) Test to see if $i is an even or odd number?
2) Grab more than one line from the database at a time, and just put in two
table rows at once?

}
elseif ($rowcount <> 1) {

Great! Thanks, Jason :)))
