Alternating Row Colors.

I set up this news system, and I have displayed it in a "Latest News Headlines" type of table on my site. I would liek alternate row colors. Also, in this table on my site, i have displayed some headlines which I would liek to have linked to my article. How would I do so?

Alternate Row Color
===================

Hints:
----------------

$p=0;
for ($j=0;$j<TotalCount;$j++) {
// display row

$MyColor=($p==0) ? "#FFFFFF":"#F0F0F0";

$p=($p==1) ? 0:1;

}

<?php
$data = file('news.txt');
$data = array_reverse($data);
foreach($data as $element) {
$element = trim($element);
$pieces = explode("|", $element);
echo "" . $pieces[3] . " " . "Posted by " . $pieces[1] . " on " . $pieces[0] . "\n";
}
?>
that is my script. I still dont understand where to place this. additioanlly, i would like to know how to view a single news article. like, i add a news article and it is viewed as a list of articles. According to the tutorial. But how do I view only one article?

here's a script I whipped up for you... it's an example for listing mail items in a webmail client... this is just an example (but it does work for me so..

) It's a little big so... yeah.. but this will alternate the row colors..

PHP Code:


		
			
echo "<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"5\">\n";

echo "  <tr>\n    <th><form name=\"messageList\" action=\"$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]\" METHOD=\"POST\">

    <input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"toggleAll\" title=\"Select or deselect messages\" onclick=\"ToggleAll(this);\">

    </th>\n    <th>From</th>\n    <th>Subject</th>\n    <th>Date</th>\n    <th>Size</th>\n  

    </tr>\n\n";

for ($x=1; $x<$numemails+1; $x++){

    $idx = ($x-1);

    $mailHeader = @imap_headerinfo($conn,$x);

    $from = $mailHeader->fromaddress;

    $subject = strip_tags($mailHeader->subject);

    $date = $mailHeader->date;

    $tmp = imap_fetchstructure($conn, $x);

    $size = $tmp->bytes;

    if($mailHeader->Unseen == "U" || $mailHeader->Recent =="N"){

        $msgStat = "<tr class = msgold >\n";

    }else{

        $msgStat = "<tr class = msgnew >\n";

    }

    if ($x % 2) { //It's even, paint it one color

        $msgcol = "#DDDDDD";

    } else {

        $msgcol = "#CCCCCC";

    }

    if ($subject == ""){

        echo $msgStat;

        echo "    <td bgcolor=\"$msgcol\"><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"msg-$x\"></td>\n";

        echo "    <td bgcolor=\"$msgcol\">$from</td>\n";

        echo "    <td bgcolor=\"$msgcol\"><a href=\"?pageMethod=viewMail&num=$x\">No Subject</a></td>\n";

        echo "    <td bgcolor=\"$msgcol\">$date</td>\n";

        echo "    <td bgcolor=\"$msgcol\">$size</td>\n";

        echo "  </tr>\n\n";

    }else{

        echo $msgStat;

        echo "    <td bgcolor=\"$msgcol\"><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"msg-$x\"></td>\n";

        echo "    <td bgcolor=\"$msgcol\">$from</td>\n";

        echo "    <td bgcolor=\"$msgcol\"><a href=\"?pageMethod=viewMail&num=$x\">$subject</a></td>\n";

        echo "    <td bgcolor=\"$msgcol\">$date</td>\n";

        echo "    <td bgcolor=\"$msgcol\">$size</td>\n";

        echo "  </tr>\n\n";

    }

}

echo "</table>\n\n";

echo "</form>\n";
