php table help??
hi im really new to php developing, i have this tabel written in PHP, but i have no idea on how to customize it...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PHP Code:
<table cellpadding='3' cellSpacing='2' width='350'>";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
echo  "<tr valign='top'><td><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\"><font color=\"#FFCC00\"><b><a href=\"$urlPath/viewtopic.php?topic=$row[topic_id]&forum=$row[forum_id]\">" .
$row["topic_title"] .
"</a></td></font></b><td><font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\"><font color=\"#C0C0C0\"> by: <a href=\"$urlPath/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=$row[user_id]\">" .
$row["username"] .
"</td><td><font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\"><font color=\"#C0C0C0\">" .
date('F j, Y, g:i a', $row["post_time"]) .
"</td></tr></font>";

djkkenny,

Customizing it can be done in various ways... I don't know exactly how much you want to customize it..

As for alternating the row colours, what you can do is perform a calculation using the modulus (%) operator, which will determine which row colour to use on each row:

PHP Code:
 $i = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {

// This determines the row colour to use
if (($i % 2) == 0){
   $colour = "background-color='#ffffff'";
else {
   $colour = "background-color='#ff0000'";
}

echo  "<tr valign='top'><td><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=\"1\"><font color=\"#FFCC00\" [b]$colour[/b]><b><a href=\"$urlPath/viewtopic.php?topic=$row[topic_id]&forum=$row[forum_id]\">" 
...
} // end of while 


That will give you alternating row colours...

I would, however, suggest using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) rather than hard-coding your colour/style values directly in your html tags.

HTH!

It sounds like maybe you need to find a quick HTML primer for these very basic questions.
