PHP variable within echo of HTML Table

[Anon]

How the heck can i assign a value that has been assigned within PHP, then use the echo command to echo the value within HTML that is already within the PHP.....

Here\'s the deal. I am echoing results into an HTML table from a db, but depending on the counter value I want to return a different row value.

The value of $c holds a particular color, I want to assign the value of $c within the echo command of the TD value. I have tried just about everying. Appreciate any input!!

Brief example:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo (\"<tr>\");
for ($x=0;$x<=$limit;$x++)
{
if(($x % 2) == 0) {$c = \"#9999CC\";}
else {$c = \"#CCCCCC\";}

      echo (\"<TD BGCOLOR= $c ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=TOP ROWSPAN=2><FONT FACE=trebuchet, verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif SIZE=2>\");
      echo ($row[fdate]);

You should declare $c outside the if statement, because now it only exists inside the if statement, and that's why you can't echo it afterwards.

I think you can count the rwos in the db query result before you do anything else, but I must admit I don't really understand the question.
