How can I change every second row?

[madsgormlarsen]

Hi

I am making a html table builder, and would like every second row to be
blue. So for that purpose I need a number that changes on every
iteration of a while loop, for exampel so that a value is 0 then 1 then
0 a so forth.

Any suggestions ?

Well, if you get the results with

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){}

you could have a integer variable defined before the loop

$x = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
if ($x % 2 == 0) blue
else ...
}

Thanks a lot, I totally cool.

I had to ad $x=$x+1;

but perhaps there is another way?

I noticed that Message-ID:
<11*********************@g47g2000cwa.googlegroups. com> from
ma************@gmail.com contained the following:

$x++;

$x++;

Some other approaches:

$x = 0;
if ( ++$x % 2 )
{
...
}

would be even shorter, or:

$x = 0;
if ( $x = ~$x )
{
...
}

would also work.

Q: How can I output alternate values from a set of values-list?
A:

1. Just loop through your values-list array:
<?php
$values_arr = array('A', 'B', 'C', 'D');
for($i=0; $i<10; ++$i)
{
$value = current($values_arr) and next($values_arr) or
reset($values_arr);
echo $value;
}
?>

2. If you want just to flip-flop between two integers, use XOR logic:
<?php
$flip_num = 1;
$flop_num = 5;
for($i=0, $n=$flip_num; $i<10; ++$i, $n ^= ($flip_num^$flop_num))
echo $n;
?>

The idea may be incorporated to echo a HTML table with alternate row
colors, row styles (using CSS class), etc.

++++++
@todo Better wording. Grammar cleanup. Someone may help.

Way more complicated than necessary. Much better:

<?php
$flip_num = 1;
$flop_num = 5;
for($i=0; $i<10; $i++)
echo $i % 2 ? $flip_num : $flop_num;
?>

KISS.

Not really. Your logic requires an iterator variable $i; but none of
the above logic requires such. So, the above logics can easily be
incorporated while reading DB or using foreach or while loops.

Rajesh,

Your code also requires and iterator variable $i; additionally it
requires a second variable $n and uses a double xor logic.
