Hi, You can use the modulus operator to create alternate colour rows. A bit simpler in code ;) See below - -------------------------------------------- echo "<table><tr><td>Domain</td><td>Average Speed</td></tr>\n"; // Define count variable which is tested in loop $count = 1; while ($mongorow = mysql_fetch_array($mongo, MYSQL_NUM)) { // If $count divides evenly by 2, white, if not then #efefef $color = ($count % 2)? "#ffffff" : "#e4e4e4"; echo "<tr bgcolor=$color><td>$mongorow[0]</td><td>$mongorow[1]</td></tr>\n"; $count++; } echo "</table>"; --------------------------------------------------- // Done :) -----Original Message----- From: Ricardo Lopes [mailto:lopes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 26, 2004 7:29 PM To: dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: PHP DB Subject: Re: Results with ledger stripes? I dont see what is your problem, your code do almost anything. Is you pretend to generate the output in html as you show in the example, you just have to add the color property in the "td" or "tr" tag, take care with the " in the code. ex: $dummy_var = 0; $dummy_array = array("#dddddd", "#ffffff"); while ($mongorow = mysql_fetch_array($mongo, MYSQL_NUM)) { echo "<tr bgcolor= ".$dummy_array[$dummy_var]."><td>$mongorow[0]</td><td>$mongorow[1]</td>< /tr> \n"; $dummy_var++; } And thats is it. You could use css or other things, thats up to you. Hope thats solved. ----- Original Message ----- From: <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 26, 2004 1:42 AM Subject: Results with ledger stripes? > Hello all, > > I'm in the midst of creating an internet speed test system thingamabob for > my website.
