Anyways I have been trying to use a code that i got from www.hotscripts.com the scipts retutns alternet rows colors for information sent back from the database when displayed in the broswer.
Here is the script: //------------------- function alternate_rows( // color_1 and color_2 have default values, but can be over-ridden. $data, $color_1 = '#999999', $color_2 = 'black' ) { // Declare $color as static so it retains its value when program // execution leaves the local function's scope. static $color; // Set the color to that's not currently set. if ( $color == $color_1 ) { $color = $color_2; } else { $color = $color_1; } echo '<tr bgcolor="' . $color . '"><td>' . $data . '</td></tr>'; } I have tried a few was of implamenting this into my current php code but i have had no luck :( Could some one help me with this please :) If you check the website and click "top ten" http://thor.ancilenetworks.co.uk/~pferrie/vinrev/index2.htm The code for return the top ten result is : $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM albums where id <15"); $Count = @mysql_num_rows($result); echo "<table border=1 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0 bordercolor='#000000'>\n"; echo "<tr><td bgcolor='#666666'>ID</td><td bgcolor='#666666'>ARTIST</td><td bgcolor='#666666'>TITLE</td><td bgcolor='#666666'>LABEL</td><td bgcolor='#666666'>PRICE</td></tr>\n"; for ($count = 0; $count < $Count; $count++) { // Extract post details from database $myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result); $id = $myrow ['id']; $artist = $myrow ['artist']; $title = $myrow ['title']; $label = $myrow ['label']; $price = $myrow ['price']; printf("<tr bgcolor='#000000'><td>$id</td><td>$artist</td><td>$title</td><td>$label</td> <td>£$price</tr>\n"); } echo "</table>\n"; ?> Cheers Paul -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
