Hi, is the database throwing an exception? Does the code reach the closing table tag on line 40? Have you tried a record count to see if your row variable contains rows? try echoing the row count - otherwise the code looks fine.

first of all ... where do you use $bg ? i don't see something like
echo "<td bgcolor='".$bg."'> .. if your rows are all white (or #eeeeee) this might be the problem.

I think silviuks, is right, you not using $bg as background color (you just set its value).

I want to alternate the bg colours, row by row, any suggestion.

echo "<tr><td width='25%'></td></tr>";
echo "</table>";
echo "</td>";
echo "</tr>";

}
else if($i %2 == 1)
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>";
echo "<table bgcolor='#e5e1e1' width='73%' border='0' align='center'>";
echo "<tr><td width='55%'></td></tr>";
echo "</table>";
echo "</td>";
echo "</tr>";

}
$i--;
}
}

hope this works

echo "<tr bgcolor=$bg>"; instead of echo "<tr>";
