Upcoming events w/ alternating row colors

Hey,
Does anyone know how to incorporate two PHP objects? I've got a php object the adds the calendar events:

<?php

// get event list for THIS week starting RIGHT NOW regardless
// of what the calendar date is set to

$events = $cal->get_event_list("week");

// step through each day

for($i = 0; $i < 7; $i++)
{

// if we don't have any events today skip this day

if(count($events[$i]) < 1) continue;

// step through each event

foreach($events[$i] as $e)
{

$e = $cal->get_event($e['id'], $e['instance']);

echo("<div id='CellConGrey'>");
echo("<div id='date'><span class='bottomText'><strong>\n");
echo($cal->format_date("F j", $e->start));
echo("</strong></span></div>\n");

echo("<div id='desc'><span class='bottomText'><strong>". $e->title ."</strong></span></div>");

echo("<br clear='left' />");
echo("</div>");
}

}

?>

And a PHP Block that sets up alternating rows:

<?php

// just some random data in an array
$data = array('. $e->title .','is','just','an','example','to','show','the','alternating','row','colors');
$events = $cal->get_event_list("week");

// the two colors to switch between
$rowcolor1 = '#F0F0F2';
$rowcolor2 = '#FFFFFF';
// the background colors on mouseover
$hovercolor1 = '#BAD4EB';
$hovercolor2 = '#DCE9F4';

echo '
<table style="caption-side:top; border-collapse:collapse" width="100%">';

for ($n = 0; $n < count($events); $n++)
{
// this is where the magic happens
if($n % 2 == 1)
{
// add more things to swop with each cycle
$style = $rowcolor1;
$hoverstyle = $hovercolor1;
}else{
$style = $rowcolor2;
$hoverstyle = $hovercolor2;
}

echo '
<tr id="row'.$n.'" style="background:'.$style.';" onmouseover="this.style.background=\''.$hoverstyle.'\'" onmouseout="this.style.background=\''.$style.'\'">
<td>'.$data[$n].'</td>
</tr>';

}

echo '
</table>';

?>

Okay, I worked out a system that's close enough to what I need in regards to the events showing up (a lot of tinkering)

http://www.centralstate.edu/index-test.php, The alternating rows don't quite work well, but oh well... deadlines.

Anyway, Another topic:

I followed the advanced integration tutorial to create a customized calendar view (Works great). Can I actually list a set number of events instead of "this weeks" event or "this Months" events?
