The more generic approach:
function getNextColour( &$lastIndex, $colourList )
{
return $colourList[(++$lastIndex % count( $colourList ))];
}
$colours = array
(
'#ff0000',
'#00ff00',
'#0000ff'
);
$index = 0;
foreach( $rows as $aRow )
{
echo '<tr bgcolor="'.getNextColour( $index, $colours ).'">'
.$aRow
.'</tr>'."\n";
}
Cheers,
Rob.
