Havard,

I'm having a little trouble with alternating my row colors.... I'm starting to lose my mind!

Here's the code:
Table
PHP Code:
<patTemplate:tmpl name="list" type="OddEven">
<patTemplate:sub condition="odd">
<tr>
        <td bgcolor="#d5dfef"><a href="editclient.php?id={CLIENTID}">{CLIENTNAME}</a></td>
        <td bgcolor="#d5dfef"><a href="mailto:{CLIENTEMAIL}">{CLIENTCONTACT}</a></td>
</tr>
</patTemplate:sub>
<patTemplate:sub condition="even">
<tr>
        <td bgcolor="#d9d9d9"><a href="editclient.php?id={CLIENTID}">{CLIENTNAME}</a></td>
        <td bgcolor="#d9d9d9"><a href="mailto:{CLIENTEMAIL}">{CLIENTCONTACT}</a></td>
</tr>
</patTemplate:sub>
</patTemplate:tmpl> 


Script
PHP Code:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    $clientId = $row["clientId"];
    $clientName = $row["clientName"];
    $clientContact = $row["clientContact"];
    $clientEmail = $row["clientEmail"];

    $template->addVar("list", "CLIENTID", $clientId);
    $template->addVar("list", "CLIENTNAME", $clientName);
    $template->addVar("list", "CLIENTCONTACT", $clientContact);
    $template->addVar("list", "CLIENTEMAIL", $clientEmail);

    $template->parseTemplate("list", "a");
                                    
}

$template->DisplayParsedTemplate("listclients"); 


Any help would be appreciated. I only have it displaying in one color. Any ideas?

Hi Frank,

I've had problems with that too.. A solution might be to dynamically generate an array with all of the values, then use the addVars() function..

the array has to be an associative array like this:

array(CLIENTID => array(1, 2, 3),
CLIENTNAME => array("Client1", "Client2", "Client3")
);

Hope it works out for you

I'm not sure if I know what you mean... What would replace "Client1", "Client2", etc? Are those the hardcoded values, or variables?

I'm somewhat in a bind... using the templates has made certain aspects so much easier, but in other respects, it's a pain in the a*s! :P

Any help would be great! TIA!

Here's something you can do.. just an example

PHP Code:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    $return['username'][] = $row['username'];
    $return['password'][] = $row['password'];
}
    
$tmpl->addVars("namelist", $return); 


I just had to test it myself before I posted it here

Does that assign $row['username]' to the 2nd [], and so on? I get too confused when dealing with multi-dimensional arrays....

If you execute these lines of code:
$array['somename'][] = "Yes";
$array['somename'][] = "Sir";
$array['blah'][] = "Test";
$array['blah'][] = "Me";

The value of:
$array['somename'][0] would be "Yes"
$array['somename'][1] would be "Sir"
$array['blah'][0] would be "Test"
$array['blah'][1] would be "Me"

When you use [] it will be applied at the end of the array..

Here's the code that would make the alterning colors work for you.

PHP Code:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    $clientId = $row["clientId"];
    $clientName = $row["clientName"];
    $clientContact = $row["clientContact"];
    $clientEmail = $row["clientEmail"];
    
    $list['CLIENTID'][] = $clientId;
    $list['CLIENTNAME'][] = $clientName;
    $list['CLIENTCONTACT'][] = $clientContact;
    $list['CLIENTEMAIL'][] = $clientEmail;                                    
}

$tmpl->addVars("list", $list);
$template->DisplayParsedTemplate("listclients"); 


It should work..

Ahh... Okay, so in the case of:

PHP Code:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
    $return['username'][] = $row['username'];
    $return['password'][] = $row['password'];
} 


It's taking the value of "username" and "password" in each row, and assigning it to "$return['username'][0], $return['password'][0]" and "[1][1]" for the next row and so on?

Now when you called:

PHP Code:
 tmpl->addVars("namelist", $return) 


Does it automatically assume ALL arrays with the prefix "$return" to replace those values?

BEEEEUUUUUUTTTTTIIIIIIFFFFFUUUUULLLL!!

It worked... i understand that a lot more now! So by using multi-dimensional arrays, I can store the value of each row's column into a separate element?

Thank you for the help! I would have gone bald soon!
