Question

I am trying to apply css class for dynamic rows in php. But its not happening. Here is my code
please someone suggest me where i am going wrong. I have declared a counter for rows but not getting where to increment its count.
<table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='2'>
<tr>
<td class='tddash'>10 latest unpaid customer invoices</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign='top'>";
$SQL = "SELECT salesorders.orderno,
debtorsmaster.name,
custbranch.brname,
salesorders.customerref,
salesorders.orddate,
salesorders.deliverydate,
salesorders.deliverto,
salesorders.printedpackingslip,
salesorders.poplaced,
SUM(salesorderdetails.unitprice*salesorderdetails.quantity*(1-salesorderdetails.discountpercent)/currencies.rate) AS ordervalue
FROM salesorders INNER JOIN salesorderdetails
ON salesorders.orderno = salesorderdetails.orderno
INNER JOIN debtorsmaster
ON salesorders.debtorno = debtorsmaster.debtorno
INNER JOIN custbranch
ON debtorsmaster.debtorno = custbranch.debtorno
AND salesorders.branchcode = custbranch.branchcode
INNER JOIN currencies
ON debtorsmaster.currcode = currencies.currabrev
WHERE salesorderdetails.completed=0
GROUP BY salesorders.orderno,
debtorsmaster.name,
custbranch.brname,
salesorders.customerref,
salesorders.orddate,
salesorders.deliverydate,
salesorders.deliverto,
salesorders.printedpackingslip,
salesorders.poplaced
ORDER BY salesorders.orderno";
$SalesOrdersResult1 = DB_query($SQL,$db);
echo "<table width='100%' celpadding='2' class='selection'><tbody>";
$TableHeader = "<tr><th> Customer </th><th>Order Date</th><th>Delivery Date</th><th>Delivery To</th><th>Order Total</th></tr> ";
$k = 0;
while ($row = DB_fetch_array($SalesOrdersResult1))
{
if ($k == 1){
echo '<tr class="EvenTableRows">';
$k = 0;
} else {
echo '<tr class="OddTableRows">';
$k = 1;
}
$FormatedOrderValue1 = locale_number_format($row['ordervalue'],$row['currdecimalplaces']);
//$TotalOrderValue = $array_sum($FormatedOrderValue1);
//$FormatedOrderValue1 = locale_number_format($myrow['ordervalue'],$_SESSION['CompanyRecord']['decimalplaces']);
$FormatedOrderDate = ConvertSQLDate($row['orddate']);
$FormatedDelDate = ConvertSQLDate($row['deliverydate']);
echo " <td> " . $row['name'] . " </td>";
echo " <td>$FormatedOrderDate</td><td>$FormatedDelDate</td><td> " . $row['deliverto'] . " </td><td>$FormatedOrderValue1</td> ";
}
//echo "<tr><td colspan='3'>Total</td><td colspan='2'>$TotalOrderValue</td></tr></tbody>";
//echo $array_sum($FormatedOrderValue1);
echo "</table>";
echo"</td>
</tr>
</table>

Answer 1

Try to put this inside your while loop.
if ($k == 1){
echo '<tr class="EvenTableRows">';
$k = 0;
} else {
echo '<tr class="OddTableRows">';
$k = 1;
}

Answer 2

If you want decorate your table, and you can use css use it. Don't use server side language
tr:nth-child(even) {background: #CCC}
tr:nth-child(odd) {background: #FFF}

Answer 3

Three issues with your code (four if you count the fact that you have a massive amount of HTML that should be moved outside of being echo'ed within php)
1) You have no $k++; to increment your $k value
2) You have a "tr" within the $row['name'] line that needs to be removed.
3) You need to move the entire if($k) block INSIDE of your while() loop.
