RE: [PHP-DB] Re: Alternating rows pulled from database
I'm new to PHP, so I don't know if there are any substantive advantages in
execution time to any particular method, but here's what I do (granted, I've
never tried it in PHP, but I do it all the time in VBScript).
$cols = array("#FF", "#EEFFEE");
for ($i=1; $i<=count(mysql_num_rows($return); $i++)
echo "";
//..etc
next
Don't crucify me if the syntax is wrong; hopefully you get the idea. I don't
have PHP with me right now, so I won't be able to test it till next week.
Would this actually work in PHP? The idea being that if you put it in an
array and suddenly decided that you needed more than 2 colors, you just add
your colors to the array and change the modulus number.
Thoughts?

RE: [PHP-DB] Re: Alternating rows pulled from database
Whoops, error in the For statement, that should read:
$return = mysql_query("SELECT This FROM That WHERE This = That");
Print "
For($i=1;$i<=count(mysql_num_rows($return));$i++)
If($i % 2 == 0){$color="color1";} else {$color="color2";}
Print " ".
" $value[$i] ".
" "
;
}
Print " "

I don't know if this is a better way to do it, but here's how I do it:
$return = mysql_query("SELECT This FROM That WHERE This = That");
Print "
For($i=1;$i<=count(mysql_num_rows($return);$i++)
If($i % 2 == 0){$color="color1";} else {$color="color2";}
Print " ".

I guess it would since you're doing basically the same thing, just a
different route.

Typo...
$rowcount = 0
while($forum = $db->fetch_array($query)) {
$forumlist .= ($rowcount % 2) ?
forum($forum, "index_forum") :
forum($forum, "index_forum2");
$rowcount++;

Not knowing what else is going on here... at the
very least your row counting variable is inconsistent.
You mention row_count (in the modulus test) and rowcount
(in the initialization and incrementation).
