[Resolved] Outputting MySql results to a table

[krs1]

Okay I have allready asked this, but I didn't get a reply... I suspect because it was at the bottom of a long post, and I have since alienated myself from most of your help 🙁

Where would one start if they wanted to have a different background color for alternating rows in a table, when the results are being output from a loop?:bemused:

[thorpe]

<?php

  $clr = array('green','blue');
  $tst = true; // this doesnt need to be here.
  for ($i=0;$i<55;$i++) {
    echo 'the color is '.$clr[$tst = !$tst].'<br />';
  }

?>

[krs1]

I see....

Can you explain the $clr[$tst = !$tst] to me? I understand that it displays one color from the array when it is true and one color when it is false... I just dont know/why. I have my guesses but i cannot articulate them at this point....

:queasy:

Does $tst display clr[0] and !tst clr[1]?

and $tst is when its true and !$tst is for false?

Then what makes them jump between true and false?
