Applying Even/Odd Classes

<div class="example-class<?php echo ($xyz++%2); ?>">

Used inside a loop, class names would be named .example-class0 and .example-class1 alternating. Increasing the "2" number allows you to increment in thirds or fourths or whatever you need:

class="class<?php echo ($xyz++%3); ?>"

Classes: class0 class1 class2 class0 class1 class2

Change number to 4, this is the result: class0 class1 class2 class3 class0 class1 class2 class3

    FYI, the 2nd example should read:

    class="class"

    Awesome,
    The easiest one so far. So we do not have to use the old 

    
$count = 1;
if($count % 2 == 0) {
....
}  else {
....
}

    one…. Saves time :)

    what about this technique, i think its much faster then taking decision on if statement.

    $class = ($class==’class1′) ? “class2″ : “class1″ ;
