What kind of data are you trying to format? What do you want it to look like?

You could so something really simple to highlight the rows like this:

CSS:

tr#light {background: white;}
tr#dark {background: #666666;}

HTML/PHP

<?
// Where $row is a fetched array from the database result, and
// where $num_rows is the number of rows in the database result.
?>

<table>

<?

$color = "light";
for ($i; $i <= $num_rows; $i++)
{
   if ($color == "light")
   {
    $color = "dark";
   }

   echo "<tr id='".$color."'>";

   echo "<td>";
   echo $row['data1'];
   echo "</td>";
   echo "<td>";
   echo $row['data2'];
   echo "</td>";

   echo "</tr>";
}

</table>

You should be able to modify this to something useful.
Best,

The $color = "light"; in the loop should be left out otherwise all the rows will be on a dark background

Thanks for pointing that out! I moved some code and forgot to delete from it's original spot. It is all fixed now.
