php if-else

[Anon]

I have a loop and I want it to print out two different colors.

Basically when $i is an even number it prints the color blue, and when $i is odd number it prints out green.

for ($i=0; $i<10; $i++) {

// what do i do to see if its odd or even, should i do division?

 ex.  $i % 2;

 then do something with the string, to see if there is a decimal in it, if there is, its not even.

 if (?????) {
     $color = "blue";
 } else {
     $color = "green";
 }

}

What you proposed is what I've done elsewhere. Works for me.

if ($i % 2 == 1) { // or 0, whatever
...
} else {
...
}

You could condense it further by using the : ? (or is it : ? ) notation. I'd advise against it personally.
