use this if you need a foreach with even/odd classes

even odd inside foreach example

<?php
	$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts();
?>

<?php $current_class = 'odd';?>
<?php foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ):?>	
	<?php $current_class = ($current_class == 'odd') ? 'even' : 'odd'; ?>
	<div class="<?php echo $current_class ?>">
		<?php echo $recent["post_title"]?>		
		<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($recent["ID"])?>">READ MORE</a>
	</div>
<?php endforeach;?>
