alternating colors in PHP?

[Force]

I GOT IT WORKING! NO NEED TO TRY AND HELP! THANKS!

does anyone know how i can make alternating row colors in this script? for example; row 1 is blue, row 2 is red, row 3 is blue, row 4 is red, etc.

i would like to get this working in php. i dont want any mysql, javascript, or css.

if anyone knows how to do this please let me know.

[EDIT]: I have already worked on this for many hours, so please dont say something like "search the forum", "try hotscript.com", or "search google".

Thanks in Advance

$alternate = 2;
while (condition) {
if ($alternate == 1) {
$color = "#000000";
$alternate = 2;
} else {
$color = "#666666";
$alternate = 1;
}
print "<tr bgcolor=\"$color\"><td>data</td></tr>";
}

something like that.

thanks for the help biggulp, but im still having some problems with it. it is repeating the first file infinite times in the rows. do you know where i should put the code you gave me in my script?

put it instead of you line that reads



echo "<tr><td bgcolor=\"#000000\"><td></tr>";

thanks, but it doesnt work. it needs to be like:

echo "<tr><td bgcolor=\"#000000\">$title<td></tr>";

and every line will have a different title and color
