Yo....:-/ Hmmm, this must be PHP5 as in PHP4 parameters can't be by ref and have a default value.
You can just use concatenation (as you really should be for all vars and function call in echo statements). echo '<tr style="background-color: '.row_color().';"><td>data</td></tr>'; But then again, this is a waste of resources. Here's the CSS friendly way: echo '<style> .row1 { background-color: #c0c0c0; } .row2 { backgorund-color: #808080; } </style> <table> '; for($i = 0; $i < 5; ++$i) { echo '<tr class="row'.($i % 2 ? '1' : '2').'"><td>Row '.$i.'</td></tr> '; } On Mon, 19 Jul 2004 16:55:13 -0700, XeRnOuS ThE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yo, i run some fairly simplistic sites, and still don't know to much PHP. > > Anyways i have this function called row color, it works fairly simply. > > $row1 = "bgcolor='#c0c0c0'"; > $row2 = "bgcolor='#808080'"; > function row_color(&$row_color=null) > { > static $row_count=0; > $row_color = ($row_count % 2) ? $GLOBALS['row1'] : > $GLOBALS['row2']; > $row_count++ > return $row_color; > } > > what i want to do, is somehow dynamicly call that funciton within an echo or > print function though. > something like > $row = "row_color"; > > echo "$row()<br>$row()<br>$row()"; > but i cant seem to find a way to properly do this.
