PHP code with alternating row color

[Azoula]

Hi guys , as the title says can anyone tell me how to do it here:

<?php
    while($data = mysql_fetch_array($req)){
?>
<?php
$up = $data['update'];
        echo "$up<br />";
?>

This should work (sorry, I'm not a fan of that "inline PHP")

Code Select Expand

<?php
$alternate = false;
while($data = mysql_fetch_array($req)){

$up = $data['update'];
if ($alternate)
echo '<div style="..........">'
else
echo '<div style="..........">'

echo $up;
echo ' </div>';
$alternate = !$alternate;
}
?>

Sorry bro didn't work

Code Select Expand

<?php
$alternate = false;
while($data = mysql_fetch_array($req)){

$up = $data['update'];
if ($alternate)
echo '<div style="color:#FFFFFF">'
else
echo '<div style="color:#0000FF">'

echo $up;
echo ' </div>';
$alternate = !$alternate;
}
?>

Didn't work is not a good description, sorry...

But I see the error: there is a ; missing in each opening div. I tested with this

Code Select Expand

<?php
$alternate = false;

//Some dummy data becase I don't have your query
$datas = array('row1', 'row2', 'row3', 'row4', 'row5', 'row6');

//while($data = mysql_fetch_array($req)){
foreach ($datas as $data) {

//$up = $data['update'];
$up = $data;
if ($alternate)
echo '<div style="color:#A0A0A0">';
else
echo '<div style="color:#0000FF">';

echo $up;
echo ' </div>';
$alternate = !$alternate;
}
?>

And it worked. You should just need to fix this --> echo   '<div style="color:#FFFFFF">' to this --> echo   '<div style="color:#FFFFFF">';
Same for the other div

sorry i'm not good in PHP language this is my code:

Code Select Expand



// get data from SQL
<?php
   $base = mysql_connect (...........,...........,..............);
    mysql_select_db (............., $base);
    $sql = 'SELECT * FROM updates';
    $req = mysql_query($sql);
?>

// add rows using your code is that correct
<?php
    $alternate = false;
    while($data = mysql_fetch_array($req)){
    $up = $data['update'];
    if ($alternate)
echo '<div style="color:#A0A0A0">';
else
echo '<div style="color:#0000FF">';

echo $up;
echo ' </div>';
$alternate = !$alternate;
}
?>

Edit:
Bro it's working but your code just change the text color.
i want the whole row
Done Fixed thx.
