Format output for listing an associative array

I'm having some trouble with listing the contents of a complex array. The array holds sections and subsections for a website.

The HTML code looks like this:

<table class="listing">
                <thead>
                    <tr>
                        <th class="checkable">#</th>
                        <th>Name</th>
                        <th>Type</th>
                        <th>Date added</th>
                        <th class="actions">Actions</th>
                    </tr>
                </thead>
                <tbody>
                    <?php for ($i = 0; $i < count($sections); $i++): ?>
                    <tr <?php if ($i % 2 == 0): ?>class="alt"<?php endif; ?>>
                        <td class="checkable"><?php echo $i+1; ?></td>
                        <td><?php echo stripslashes($sections[$i]['name']); ?></td>
                        <td><?php echo $sections[$i]['type_name']; ?></td>                                                                                                                                                             
                        <td><?php echo $sections[$i]['date_added']; ?></td>

                                    <li>                            
                                        <a href="edit-section.php?section_id=<?php echo $sections[$i]['siblings'][$j]['section_id']; ?>">Edit</a>                                        
                                        <form action="delete-section.php" method="post" data-prompt="Are you sure you want to delete this element?" >
                                            <input type="hidden" name="section_id" value="<?php echo $sections[$i]['siblings'][$j]['section_id']; ?>" />
                                            <a href="#">Delete</a>
                                        </form>
                                    </li>
                                </ul>
                            </td>
                        </tr>                            
                        <?php endfor; ?>
                    <?php endif; ?>
                    <?php endfor; ?>
                </tbody>
            </table>

And the output is this: http://cl.ly/image/240C1S2A3J3J

Now here's my question: how can I get the numbering right and how can I get that alternating row color right?

Your nested loops were causing issues . . . separate variable to keep track of the row is needed . . . 

<table class="listing">
                <thead>
                    <tr>
                        <th class="checkable">#</th>
                        <th>Name</th>
                        <th>Type</th>
                        <th>Date added</th>
                        <th class="actions">Actions</th>
                    </tr>
                </thead>
