I just bookmarked this yesterday. Haven't used it yet, but I'm guessing it works:

Seems that one works great for a controlled loop but how you will you know how many records you will have each time, I use this to get the same effect:

$dbrow1 = "#ffffff";
$dbrow2 = "#eeeeee";
$rowcolor = $dbrow1;

while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
print '<tr bgcolor='. $rowcolor .'>';

print '<td>some data</td>';

print '</tr>'; }

//Change row colors
if ($rowcolor == $dbrow1) {
$rowcolor = $dbrow2;
} else {
$rowcolor = $dbrow1;
}


}
