IF statement

[Iquil]

Hey
I have a script that is within a while loop that sets the bgcolor of a td tag and sets a div within that td tag.

if($dep_date <= $date_c1){
	$bg = " style=\"background-color: #e3e3e3;\"";
	$newdiv = "";
}else{
	$bg = "";
	$newdiv = "<div id=\"scrolltome\"></div>";
}

Is there a way to get this to see the first date that is > $date_c1 and put $newdiv = "<div id=\"scrolltome\"></div>"; on that one only.
I figure it'd be done with an IF statement, but I'm not sure what the condition for the IF should be.

Thanks in advance for any idea's.

If I understand correctly, maybe something like:

$greaterDateFound = FALSE;
while(<your_while_condition>)
{
  if( ! $greaterDateFound and $dep_date > $date_c1)
  {
    $greaterDateFound = TRUE; // so we only do this for the first one we find
    $newdiv = "<div id=\"scrolltome\"></div>";
  }
  elseif($dep_date <= $date_c1){
    $bg = " style=\"background-color: #e3e3e3;\"";
    $newdiv = "";
  }else{
    $bg = "";
    $newdiv = "<div id=\"scrolltome\"></div>";
  } 
}
