the function to switch values ie for alternating between 2 colors in table display

[monomaniac21]

Hi all!

What is the php function called which allows you to alternate between
two values? I've completely forgotten it and my searches in php.net
have not been fruitful!

Kind regards

There is a function?

I usually just do something like this

$rowstyle=($cou nt%2!=1)?" style='backgrou nd-color:#ddd'":"
style='backgrou nd-color:#fff'";
$count++;

for each table row.

I prefer

$linestyle = 1

While (criteria)
{
.......
$lineclass = "lineclass" . $linestyle;
<TR class = $lineclass><TD> </TD></TR>;

$linestyle = 1 - $linestyle;
}

and set up two classes called lineclass0 and lineclass1

personally I think it is easier to read and control.

Just use an array:

$class = array('blue', 'red');

echo $class[$i%2];
