Alternate Row Colours

Anon

Yeah, Yeah, I know what you're thinking... Do a search before posting, but this is different, I promise. Instead of alternating 2 rows, how do you alternate 3 rows?

Whoever can do this is a genius. I've spent the last week trying.

Thanks alot

Maybe I'm missing something;

Outside your loop;

$row = 0;

Inside the loop;

if ($row>3) $row=0;
echo "<tr class=$row></tr>";
$row++;

Then set up three CSS definitions along the lines of;

.0 { background: #eeeeee; }
.1 { background: #eeeedd; }

etc.

hey ,
you just made me genius man...check out the code below.
hope you like it :-)

<?php
echo "<table border=0 cellspacing=1 width=60%>";
for($i=0;$i<15;$i++){
if(($i%3)==0){ // this means the no is divisible by 3
$bgClr="blue";
}else if(($i%3)==1){ // divisible by 2
$bgClr="yellow";
}else{
$bgClr="green";
}
echo "<tr bgcolor=$bgClr><td>$i</td></tr>";

How about this:

<?php

$cnt=0;
$bgCols=Array('green','red','blue','yellow');

// Make a few test items
$items=Array();
for ($x=1;$x<16;$x++)
$items[]="Item $x";

// Start table
echo "<table>\n";

foreach($items as $item)
{
echo "<tr bgcolor=\"$bgCols[$cnt]\">\n<td>$item</td>\n</tr>\n";
$cnt+1==count($bgCols) ? $cnt=0 : $cnt++;
}

echo "</table>\n";
