alternating table colors

[Anon]

ok, I want to alternate the table colors, i know how to do it, but I need it integrated into this code which i cant do 🙁

its a start of a simple messege board script...

the tables will be just after the explode function.

<?
$display = "5";

$file = fopen ("posts.txt","r");

$i=0;
while ((!feof ($file)) && ($i++<5))
{

$line = fgets ($file, 4098);
list($date,$time,$messege,$username)=explode("|", $line);

}
?>

It would be easier if you posted the part that prints the rows rather than the part that reads tehm from a file. (files are evil, use a database instead)

here's an example:
