having trouble changing row color in foreach()

[peanutgallery83]

I'm having trouble figuring out how to alternate a table row color within the output created by a foreach statement.

I've done it before using a while loop, but that methodology doesn't seem to work here.

I did a search on the forums and couldn't find an example using a foreach statement.

Thanks in advance for any help!

print "<table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=6 width=550 class=tline>";

foreach($articles as $article){
  $images=$imageMgr->getImageArray($article['ID']);


  $f=$fileMgr->getFileArray($article['ID']);

  print "<tr bgcolor=\"$bgcolor\"><td valign=top class='bline'>";
  print "<h4>".htmlentities($article['Title'])."</h4>";

  if(isset($f[1]['original_name'])){
    $img="<img src=\"".$fileMgr->getIconURL($f[1]['extension'])."\" border='0' alt='' class='vmiddle'>";
    print "<div style='padding:4px 0px 4px 0px;'><i>Download File: ";
    print $fileMgr->getDownloadUrl($article['ID'],1,$img).' ';
    print $fileMgr->getDownloadUrl($article['ID'],1,htmlentities($f[1]['original_name']));
  print "</i></div>";
  }

  print nl2br(htmlentities($article['Story']));
  print "<div style='padding-top:5px;font-size:9pt;color:#666666'><i>Posted On ";
  if(!empty($article['Release']))
    print date('F j, Y',strtotime($article['Release']));
  if(!empty($article['Source']))
    print " - Source/Credit: ".htmlentities($article['Source']);
  print "</i></div>";
  print "</td>";

  if(isset($images[1]['full']) && file_exists($images[1]['full'])){
    print "<td align=center class='bline'>";
  print "<img src='{$images[1]['full']}' border=0 alt=''  style='margin-left:5px;'></td>";
  } else {
  print "<td class='bline'>&nbsp</td>";
  }

  print "</tr>";
}
print "</table>";

You need to maintain a flag or a counter that acts like a loop index. That said, alternating row colour tends to be a job for CSS and clientside scripting, not PHP.
