I'm stucked in a part of my project where I need to compare the checkbox input i got in my database with another value.
I need to split the input using explode and compare each of the values to see if any of them matches with a list of inputs. If any of them does, I want to echo the values of the ones that matches.
Splitting the input worked but comparing isn't working. Below is my code.
<?php
$cou = explode(',' , $row_rsCourse['courses']);
foreach($cou as $mark){
$mark1 = $mark."<br>";
}
if ($mark1 = $row_rsCourselist['code'] ){echo $row_rsCourselist['name'];}else {echo "Failed";}
?>
/*
For example:
$row_rsCourse['courses'] = (a,b,d,g,i)
$row_rsCourselist['code'] = is a database column which contains letters a - z in different input
$row_rsCourselist['name'] = is a database column which contains names from a - z in different inputs e.g (Andre Ben Charlie etc)
*/
BELOW IS THE FULL SOURCE CODE
