How to make this a function?

[stevepsharpe]

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone know how to make the following code into a function? The reason why is at the moment it kinda breaks my HTML as it is in a <li> tag.

The pupose of the code is to alternate color unless something is posted by me. Then a custom color is used. But I don't want it to affect the alternating colors.

So say it went: white, blue, white, blue.

And my color is orange, I want it to go:
white, blue, orange, white, blue.

Not...

Instead of:
white, blue, orange, blue, white.

I want to be able to call it like this:

<?php myfunction(); ?>

Thanks for any help, oh and I hope what I have said makes sense? lol...

<?php
$your_url = 'http://www.stevepsharpe.co.uk'; // Write your url here
$your_name = 'Steve Sharpe'; // Write your name here
$your_email = '[e-mail]'; // Write your email here
$the_name = apply_filters('comment_author', $comment->comment_author);
$the_url = apply_filters('comment_url', $comment->comment_author_url);
$the_email = $comment->comment_author_email; 
if (($the_name == $your_name) && ($the_url == $your_url) && ($the_email == $your_email)) {
echo "class='mycomments'"; // The class to be defined in your stylesheet
}else{?>
class="<?=($i%2)?"color1":"color2";$i++;?>"
<?php } ?>>

Just to let all people know I sorted it.....

function my_comment() {
        global $comment, $class, $i;

	      $your_url = 'http://www.stevepsharpe.co.uk'; // Write your url here
    $your_name = 'Steve Sharpe'; // Write your name here
	$your_email = '[e-mail]'; // Write your email here
  $the_name = apply_filters('comment_author', $comment->comment_author);
    $the_url = apply_filters('comment_url', $comment->comment_author_url);
	$the_email = $comment->comment_author_email; 
    if (($the_name == $your_name) && ($the_url == $your_url) && ($the_email == $your_email)) {
            $class= "mycomments"; // The class to be defined in your stylesheet
    }elseif ($i%2){
	$i++;
	$class= "color1";
	}else{
	$i++;
	$class= "color2";

}}

Then in the <li> tag I called the function and the var like so...

<li class="<?php my_comment();?><?= "$class" ?>">

Hope this helps someone in the future

Cheers
