Automatically number and colour table rows

[black-dog]

Here's a bit of code to automatically number rows in a table and also colour the back ground of each row

<?php $count=1;?>
<table>

<!-- add the three following lines to the start of each new row-->
<tr style='background-color:<?php echo ($count%2==0)?"#afa":"aaf"; ?>'>
  <td><?php  echo $count++;?></td>

<!-- add the date-->
  <td >Data</td>
  <td>Data</td>
</tr>

...
</table>

Of course it's much easier if your data is in an array because the table can be created using a loop.

Well, as you can see, or not see, my code example does not work. There seem to be a few problems with the forum...

OK, let's try again for the support people.

<?php $count=1;?>
<table>

<tr style='background-color:<?php echo ($count%2==0)?"#afa":"aaf"; ?>'>
  <td><?php  echo $count++;?></td>
  <td >Data</td>
  <td>Data</td>
</tr>

<tr>
  <td><?php  echo $count++;?></td>
  <td>Data</td>
  <td>Data</td>
</tr>

</table>

I will advice you to replace < , > and " symbols of your code with following :

< = & lt;
> = & gt;
" = & quot;
This update would display your code properly.

You can use Find and Replace tool in Notepad and you have your tag ready

Yes I know I could do that but surely the bbcode tags should do this?

Here is the code using html entities

&lt;?php $count=1;?&gt;
&lt;table&gt;

&lt;tr style='background-color:&lt;?php echo ($count%2==0)?&quot;#afa&quot;:&quot;aaf&quot;; ?&gt;'&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;?php echo $count++;?&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td &gt;Data&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Data&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;

...
&lt;/table&gt;
