Isn't that the same thing essentially? See, from the time ($row->show_title) is true until it is true again is not a fixed number so the only constant is that if ($row->show_title) is true then the <tr> background color will be on. Then I need to alternate the background color between on and off until ($row->show_title) is true again. Then start the process over. So I'm sure my ignorance has prevented me from fully understanding what you tried to show me below but isn't that the same as saying: if ($i&1) { do this; } else { do this; } which is the same as if ($i%2) { etc..... }
