Zebra tables

Last week I was checking out the code of an open source project that used 10 lines of code just to generate a “odd” / “even” string to use as the html class for a table row. This is how I do it in one line:

<?php 
for($i=0;$i<10;$i++) { 
    $row = (!isset($row) || $row==='even')?'odd':'even'; //line that generates the classname 
    echo $row; 
}

The only easier way that I’m aware of would be to use the codeigniter alternator.

 echo alternator('string one', 'string two');
