This nifty little pice of code is probably the best method, because it means you can have unlimted colours, 4, 4, or 5 colours...

There's nothing complicated about it either... it's but 2 lines of code at the end of a loop...

<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0 width=100%>

                            

                            <?

                                // Define the colours...

                                $colours   = array();

                                $colours[] = "#EDEDED";

                                $colours[] = "#CCCCCC";

                                $colours[] = "#FFFFFF";

                                // Loop through from 10 -> 15

                                for ($i = 1; $i <= 15; $i++){

                                

                                    

                                    // Print the row with the colour value...

                                    printf("<tr bgcolor="%s"><td>$i</td></tr>n", $colours[0]);

                                    

                                    

                                    // Now for the magic... First we take the last value off the end of the array


                                    // and pop it onto the beginning...

                                    array_unshift($colours, $colours[count($colours)-1]);

                                    // array_unshift does this nicley, and I've added the "count($colours)-1"

                                    // bit so you can have as many colours as you need...

                                    

                                    // Then we remove the last element of the array... 

                                    array_pop($colours);

                                

                                }

                            

                            
 ?>


                            </table>
