Obviously, the above is more like pseudo-code since $value is not used inside
the loop and the text isn't printed as plain text.
$row = 0;
foreach ($result as $value)
{
print ($row++ %2) ? "<i>$value</i><br />\n" : "$value<br />\n";
}
By way of explanation, the % operator looks at the remainder of an integer
division. Take any number, divide it by 2 and look at the remainder. It will
be 1 or 0. PHP interprets these numbers as true or false.
The "(condition) ? value_if_true : value_if_false" structure is a compact way
of working an if...else branch. Both values must be supplied, even if one is
"".
The ++ operator after $row increments the variable after it is used in the
modulus (%) operation.
Setting $row to zero is optional but will prevent warnings.
