table alternate row color

[pilotvtm]

i am trying to change this function to show me alternate row color, not alternate column color.

how can i modify this function without remaking it completely and without java-script (it can be made directly)..?
i tried with come css 3 command i found on google

tr:nth-child(odd) { background-color:#eee; }
tr:nth-child(even) { background-color:#fff; }

and with examples from here:

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_..._23003019.html
and more....
and i dind't manage to remake it...
can someone please help me?
thank you in advance!!!

function table($res) {

	// Columns
	$cols = explode(",", $site_config["torrenttable_columns"]);
	$cols = array_map("strtolower", $cols);
	$cols = array_map("trim", $cols);
	$colspan = count($cols);
	// End
	
	echo '<table align=center cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" class="class1" width=99%>
	<tr >';
	
	foreach ($cols as $col) {
	      	switch ($col) {
			case 'text':
				echo "<td class=ttable_head>Data I<b></td>";
			break;
		        case 'text2':
				echo "<td class=ttable_head>Data II<b></td>";
			break;
			case 'modif':
				echo "<td class=ttable_head>Data III<b></td>";
			break;
			
		}
	}
	
	
	echo "</tr>";


	while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)) {
		$id = $row["id"];
		print("<tr class=testtabel5>\n");
	$x = 1;

	foreach ($cols as $col) {
	

		switch ($col) {
			
			case 'text':
			    
				print("<td  align=center>".$row['data1']);
			break;
			case 'text2':
				print("<td class=class2 align=center>".$row['data2']);
			break;
			case 'modif':
				$char1 = 35; //cut name length 
				$smallname =CutName(htmlspecialchars($row["name"]), $char1);
				$test = $row["data1"];
				$dispname = "<b>".$smallname."</b>";

				
				print("<td class=class3 nowrap>&nbsp;<a title=\"".$row["name"]."\" href=\"snow.php?id=$id\">Snows</a>");
			break;
					}
		if ($x == 2)
			$x--;
		else
			$x++;
	}
	
		print("</tr>\n");

	}

	print("</table><BR>\n");

foreach($rows as $row) {
    ///this is where your stuff for a row goes... like alternate tr class
   foreach($row as $cell) {
      ///this is where your stuff for a "column" goes,
      ///though it is generated cell by cell within each row
      ///alternate columns here, using td class
   }
} 

So the simple answer is just move anything from the column area (inner loop) to the row area (outer loop).

Your code is also spaced very strangely. It would be a lot easier to make this stuff work in it if all of the tabs lined up (and also to help you).

i ralised that this posts one row 5 times...why this happens?
i need 10 on page, now are all on page and are in alphabetical order not in date order...
how can i arrange them??


the second part became something like this:

        $rowclass = 0;

foreach ($cols as $rows) {
	
echo "<tr class=row$rowclass>";

           foreach ($cols as $col) {
	

            $rowclass = 1 - $rowclass;


		switch ($col) {
			
			case 'text':
			    
				print("<td  align=center>".$row['data1']);
			break;
			case 'text2':
				print("<td class=class2 align=center>".$row['data2']);
			break;
			case 'modif':
				$char1 = 35; //cut name length 
				$smallname =CutName(htmlspecialchars($row["name"]), $char1);
				$test = $row["data1"];
				$dispname = "<b>".$smallname."</b>";

				
				print("<td class=class3 nowrap>&nbsp;<a title=\"".$row["name"]."\" href=\"snow.php?id=$id\">Snows</a>");
			break;
					}
		if ($x == 2)
			$x--;
		else
			$x++;
	}
	}
		print("</tr>\n");

	
}

	print("</table><BR>\n");

}

thanks for your help!!!!!!

sorry for the double post, but i didn't manage to make this work....any other ideas?

I think this may be because you are using $cols in the loop. The code looks ok, but I don't know what the data inserted is.
You can insert the method in my code into your original code easily: just put the alternation code in the outer loop. You don't need to use foreach loops like that-- that was just the easiest example for the code.

did it but in another way...this way didn't work..

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)) {
		$id = $row["id"];
		
		$rowclass = 1 - $rowclass;
	
print("<tr class=rowt$rowclass>\n");
	

echo "<tr class=row$rowclass>";

				$char1 = 35; //cut name length 
				$smallname = CutName(htmlspecialchars($row["name"]), $char1);
				$dispname = "<b>".$smallname."</b>";
	
	print("<td class=rowt$rowclass nowrap><a title=\"".$row["name"]."\" href=\"titluri-detalii.php?id=$id&amp;hit=1\">$dispname</a>");
        print("<td class=rowt$rowclass align=center>".$row['data1']);
        print("<td class=rowt$rowclass class=ttable_col4 align=center>".$row['data2']);
	print("<td class=rowt$rowclass nowrap>&nbsp;<a title=\"".$row["name"]."\" href=\"titluri-modificari.php?id=$id\">Modificari</a>");
			
	
     
 $rowclass = 0;
	print("</tr>\n");}
	print("</table><BR>\n");
$rowclass = 1 - $rowclass;

thanks for your help!!!
