Question

I am creating a table full of values dynamically… I was woundering if there is a way to alternate the row color of this table between white and light grey..

this is the code I am using to create the table…

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo "<tr>";
  echo "<td>" . $row['name'] . "</td>";
  echo "<td>" . $row['width'] . "</td>";
  echo "<td>" . $row['height'] . "</td>";
  echo "<td>" . $row['normal_fill'] . "</td>";
  echo "<td>" . $row['our_fill'] . "</td>";
  echo "<td>" . $row['old_price'] . "</td>";
  echo "<td>" . $row['price'] . "</td>";
  echo '<td><form method="post" action=""><input type="hidden" name="duckdown_id" value="'.$row['duckdown_id'].'" /><input type="submit" name="sumbit" value="Delete" /></form></td>';
  echo "</tr>";
  }
echo "</table>";

Answer 1

Add an incremental variable and check every 2’nd row:

$i = 1;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
  $background = '#000';
  if($i%2 == 0){
      $background = '#00f';
  }
  $i++;
  echo "<tr style='background-color:".$background.";'>";

As a side note, I see you are still using mysql_* functions, If you just started you could move to PDO as mysql_* functions are deprecated. Here is a nice tutorial.
