Alternating Colors

[mycro]

I have an HTML file, and a php file that writes user stats on a new line each time someone visits. I want the lines to alternate table backgrounds so it's easier to read. How would I read the last line of the HTML storage file to see if a certain color HEX value is in it, and if so, use a differnt hex value for my table?

Thanks

Quick and dirty, probably not the best way to do it.

$html_file="file.html";
$colors=array();

$fp=fopen($html_file,"r");
while(!feof($fp)) {
    $tmp = fgets($fp);
    if(preg_match("/bgcolor=\"(.*)\"/",$tmp,$matches)) {
        array_push($colors,$matches[1]);
    }
}
fclose($fp);

if($colors[count($colors)-1] == "#FF0000")
    $bgcolor = "#000000";
else
     $bgcolor = $colors[count($colors)-1];
