[Pugged] Switch Troubles

[Cesar Mendoza]

Hi,

I think that your problem is in the "for" loop line, remove the semicolon
(";") at the end of the line. That for loop is doing nothing except setting 
$i to the value of $max. That would explain why the value of $last2 never 
changes.

Another way to code it would be:
 <?php for ($i =0 ;!$result3->EOF; $i++) {
          $bgcolor = $i & 1 ? "#e1e1e1" : "#f5f5f5";
 		  <tr bgcolor="<?= $bgcolor ?>">
 		  <td><?= $result3->fields['team_name'] ?></td>
 		  <td><?= $result3->fields['team_position'] ?></td>
 		  <td><?= $result3->fields['team_phone'] ?></td>
 		  <td><?= $result3->fields['team_email'] ?></td>
 		  </tr>
       <?php $result3->MoveNext();
	  } ?>


"$i & 1" is 0 for even numbers and 1 for odd numbers. In base 2, an odd
number always end with 1.
