Hello!

I am developing something like chat box and I want for example one post on one side then the other post on other side.

Example:


I want this in PHP (just for different sides)

Just use the CSS nth-child selector - it's far easier. Either that, or in the loop displaying the shouts do soemthing like:

<?php
$pos = "left";

while ($shout = $db->fetch_array($query))
{
	if ($pos == "left")
	{
		$pos = "right";
	}
	else
	{
		$pos = "left";
	}
	
	//etc
}
?>

Then, use the left and right as floats or whatever.

This reminds me of what Gaia Online did.

Hm... don't know what you mean.

What do you mean? You're writing out the shouts using a loop, right? Just use the basic code I gave. Or, as I said, you can use the nth-child selector:

.shout:nth-child(odd) {
    float: left;
}

.shout:nth-child(even) {
    float: right;
}

Or something.

Thanks worked.
