Output zebra stripe rows in PHP

/ Published in: PHP

This is a simple way to stripe alternate rows of output or to do anything different as I process each alternate row. Typically, I set the element's class to "myEvenRow" or "myOddRow" then output the data just after the IF statement.

I found this full example at nullislove.com. The page also has a Ruby example. Full props to them.

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML 
  1. <?php // PHP version
  2.   $i = 0;
  3.   // have_rows_to_output is a stand-in for your loop's code
  4.   while (have_rows_to_output) {
  5.     if (fmod($i, 2) == 0) { // it's an even number
  6.       output_even_style_row;
  7.     } else { // it's an odd number
  8.       output_odd_style_row;
  9.     }
  10.     $i++;
  11.   }
  12. ?>
