Alternate Colors

[Anon]

I use the while loop when grabbing rows from my db.

	for ($j = 0; $j < $rows; $j++) { 
        $RowColor[] = $this->html_get_alt_row_color($j); 
    }

	$rowcount = 0;		

	while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
		$fileid = $row['id'];
		$filename = $row['filename'];
		$filetype = $row['filetype'];
		$filedesc = $row['description'];
		$filesize = $row['filesize'];

		echo '<TR BGCOLOR="'.$RowColor[$this->countplus($rowcount)].'">';
		echo '<td>'.$fileid.'</td>';
		echo '<td>'.$filename.'</td>';
		echo '<td>'.$filetype.'</td>';
		echo '<td>'.$filedesc.'-'.$rowcount.'</td>';
		echo '<td>'.$filesize.'</td>';
		echo '<td><a href="getdata.php?id='.$fileid.'" target="_blank">
			  <img border="0" onMouseOver = "window.defaultStatus = \'\'; window.status = \'Download '.$filedesc.'\' ; return true" alt="Download" src="download.gif">
			  </a></td>';
		echo '</tr>'; 
	}

How can I get each row to have a different background, my current method does not work.

Got it!

I put...

$color = ($coloralternator++ %2 ? "#EEEEEE" : "#FFFFFF");

inside the while loop.

yet another alternative...
If you searched the forum (as you were advised to do when you posted) you would have found a whole bunch of methods to do this.
