RE: [PHP] RE: newbie alternate row colours in dynamic table -- timed tests

Darn you Phillip! ;) I was just about to post that. Also, since we're
being picky, you should also assign the result to $bgcolor in each of
your tests like you are the first one, instead of just testing a
condition. Here are the results with the fourth method that Phillip
mentioned (along with single quotes, etc, to make each test the same):

version one: 0.400743961334 seconds
version two: 0.331864953041 seconds
version three: 0.322684049606 seconds
version four: 0.293377041817 seconds

There's really not much a difference between any of them. Use the one
you understand.

Complete _new_ code included below.
