hi all,
I my querying two tables in mysql the first table I query returns a list of software that I have.
Then I query a second table that show me what is installed on a computer.
I would then like to be able to display the first list but with a tick next to software installed on a computer.
I have treid with making a function that reuten the full list of software but can not get it to to work function below.
function software_list(&$software) # Software is a word or it can be empty.
{
$db_search = "SELECT software_name
FROM software_list
WHERE software_name
LIKE '".$software."%'";
$db_result = mysql_query($db_search);
$db_count = mysql_num_rows($db_result);
while($sw_result = mysql_fetch_array($db_result)){
$temp = $sw_result[software_name];
for($i=0;$i<count($temp); $i++){
$sw_list = $temp;
}
return $sw_list;
}
}
But when I go to print the return values in $sw_list all I get is my first value
so can I get a full list to be return. I have been trying to print it by using the following
for($i=0; $i<count(software_list($sw_list));$i++){
print software_list($sw_list);
}
If any one can help with the comparing of the two list and then display a tick next too any match that would be a great help too.
Thank you
Ben
