Alternative colors

[jacobelias]

Hello,

I have the following codeand I want to display alternate colors for rows. However I am getting error like
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ')' in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\atlas\results.php on line 28

The code is as follows:

<?php

$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root");

mysql_select_db("mydb",$db);

$colourcounter = 0;

$result = mysql_query("select Ticker,Last,Vol from dailyclosing order by T_Change desc limit 10 ",$db);

echo "<table border=1>\n";

print("<table border=0 align=center width=300 bgcolor=#0E711D cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"1\"><tr><td><font color=#FFFFFF><b>Fieldname1</b></font></td><td align=right><font color=#FFFFFF><b>Fieldname2</b></font></td></tr>");

while(list(Ticker, Last) = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
if ($colorcounter == 0) {
$colorbg = "#ECE28B";
}
else {
$colorbg = "#F4EFC1";
$colorcounter = $colorcounter - 2;
}
print("<tr><td bgcolor=$colorbg>$Field1</td><td align=right bgcolor=$colorbg>$Field2</td></tr>");
$colorcounter = $colorcounter + 1;
}
print("</table>");
?>

Can anyone help me with this.

Thanks

Jac

couldn't see which line 28 was but try

$colorToggle = 0;
while(list($Ticker, $Last) = mysql_fetch_row($result)) 
{ 
  $colorbg = ($colorToggle == 0) ? '#ECE28B' : '#F4EFC1'; 
  $colorToggle = 1 - $colorToggle;

  print "<tr bgcolor='{$colorbg}'><td>{$Ticker}</td><td align='right'>{$Last}</td></tr>"; 
} 
print '</table>'; 
?>
