Or you could simply test the $color variable to see its contents, and
change it if it's what you expected:
$color = "#FFFFFF";
if($color = "#FFFFFF") {
$color = "#000000";
//output
} else {
$color = "#FFFFFF";
}
There may be something inherently wrong in this approach, but it has
always worked for me. :o)

Subject: Re: How to format every secound row in a
database result
Maintain a counter as you display the returned results.
Mod the counter by 2 (rowcounter % 2), set colour according to presence /
absence of a remainder.
