Question

I just started working with PHP and have managed to run a simple CRUD application. But displaying it seems a bit dull and looks quite ugly, so I was wondering if anyone could explain how I can select my data from a database table and make it look like this one on the W3School website?

I like the way the colours alternate and would be nice to reproduce it when my data is read and displayed on a table.

That’s not based on php but on html. PHP is server-side.

Wait, I think I did get you

$i = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
    $i++;
    if ($i % 2)
    {
        echo "<tr class='yellow'><td>".$row['id']."</td></tr>";
    }
    else{
        echo "<tr class='green'><td>".$row['id']."</td></tr>";
    }
}

in CSS it will look like

.yellow{background-color:yellow;}
.green{background-color:green;}
