Looks like a good 'un to me, although I wonder why you're incrementing
$rowNum and then doing a separate access to it, when the ++ operator is
designed precisely to avoid the need for this; the following is identical in
functionality to the above:
$rowNum = 0;
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) )
{
if ($rowNum++ % 2) { $bgCol = "#EADBC6"; } else { $bgCol = "#EFE1CE"; }
echo "......";
}
And, having got this far, I'd probably then go on to rewrite the if line
using the ?: operator instead:
$bgCol = ($rowNum++ % 2) ? "#EADBC6" : "#EFE1CE";
Cheers!
