styles.css in php

Hi

I have a table with results, all rows are displayed in one colour.. as of below... but how can I get the background-color displayed every two rows only?

tr, td {
font-family: <?php print($VISUALS[$SkinID]['page']['font']); ?>;
font-color: <?php print($VISUALS[$SkinID]['page']['color']); ?>;
font-size: <?php
print($VISUALS[$SkinID]['page']['fontsize']);
print($VISUALS[$SkinID]['page']['fontunit']);
?>;
background-color: <?php print($VISUALS[$SkinID]['page']['background-color']); ?>;
}

from visuals.inc:

$VISUALS[0]['page']['background-color'] = '#E9E9E9';

Here's some code I use to alternate row color:

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
if(($counter % 2) == 0) {
$rcolor = "#EFEFEF";
}
else {
$rcolor = "#DDDDDD";
}
echo"
<tr bgcolor='$rcolor'>
<td>

</td>
</tr>
and so on......
";

$counter++;
}

Hope this helps. I know it's not css, but it is an easy way to do it.

If you setup two different CSS ids:

.tr0 {
background-color: <?php print($VISUALS[$SkinID]['page']['background-color0']); ?>;
}

.tr1 {
background-color: <?php print($VISUALS[$SkinID]['page']['background-color1']); ?>;
}

then in the code where you output the rows of your table (presuming they're coming from an array of results):


you should get the effect you're after (although I'm no CSS master, so you'd have to figure that out - hey what you expect on a php forum;-)

EDIT: the $toggle=($toggle+1)%2 just sets the value of $toggle to 0 if it's current value is 1 and vice-versa.

As said above, define 2 elements iny our css file, then during the loop to get your results from the mysql db, just insert a little if statement with a counter var to exchange the colors on odd/even etc.

Good luck to you
