Cool. You must use CSS for this. Your PHP must dish out tr tags with
alternating CSS classes... this allows you to change colors later
without editing code. This done, now for dishing out tr tag with
alternating classes you can use a function built along the following
lines:
function showRow() {
static $row = 1;
print(tr class=\rCol$row\ Your HTML Row goes here. /tr);
if (2 == $row) {
$row--;
}
else {
$row++;
}
}
Secondly I only want the first 20 records to be displayed at a time and
then I want to create a NEXT link for the next 20 records (21-40) ...
any idea how you would use the SELECT command to do this?
This should be plain simple... Try reading more about SELECT. You need
to use the LIMIT clause with SELECT.
Have fun,
ah

RE: [PHP-DB] SELECT html table
There's a couple of ways to do this. For the row color you would set that
as you looped through the returned rows. Using the pear db class:
$count = 0;
echo table\n;
while($db-fetchInto($data)) {
$count++;
if($count % 2 == 0) {
$bgColor = background-color:#dcdcdc;
}
else {
$bgColor = background-color:transparent;
}
echo tr style='$dgColor'\n;
foreach($data as value) {
echo td . htmlentities($value) . /td\n;
}
echo /tr\n;
}
As for the limiting of rows, you would use the limit statement (assuming
you're using a DBMS that supports it).
Hopefully this helps,
