Question

Here is my problem. I upload a csv file containing two columns (student Number and Score). But when i form an HTML table from the data, i’ll like to have a column display a grade according to the score uploaded… Also all the courses that have a score >40 should all be put into another table. Below is the loop i’m trying to make work, but it’s not getting me anywhere near it.

Thanks for the help. I most appreciate it. Thanks

while ($row4 = mysql_fetch_assoc($query4)) {
    if ($row4['score'] >= 70) {
        $grade = A;
    } 
    elseif ($row4['score'] >= 60) {
        $grade = B;
    }
    elseif ($row4['score'] >= 50) {
        $grade = C;
    }
    elseif ($row4['score'] >= 45) {
        $grade = D;
    }
    elseif($row4['score'] >= 40) {
        $grade = E;
    }
    elseif($row4['score'] >= 40) {
        $grade = F;
    }else {
        $grade = AR;
    }
}

If I understand correctly, the following should do what you are looking for. I assume that your Course ID and Student ID are in the database row, but you will need to update those if not.

<?php

define('GRADE_A_MIN', 70);
define('GRADE_B_MIN', 60);
define('GRADE_C_MIN', 50);
define('GRADE_D_MIN', 45);
define('GRADE_E_MIN', 40);
define('GRADE_F_MIN', 35);

$table_one_values = array(); // Used to create table for students with scores 40+
$table_two_values = array();


while ($row4 = mysql_fetch_assoc($query4)) {
    $score = $row4['score'];
    $destination_table = 'two';

    if ( $score >= GRADE_A_MIN ) {
        $grade = 'A';
        $destination_table = 'one';

    } elseif ( $score >= GRADE_B_MIN ) {
        $grade = 'B';
        $destination_table = 'one';

    } elseif ( $score >= GRADE_C_MIN ) {
        $grade = 'C';
        $destination_table = 'one';

    } elseif ( $score >= GRADE_D_MIN ) {
        $grade = 'D';
        $destination_table = 'one';

    } elseif ( $score >= GRADE_E_MIN ) {
        $grade = 'E';
        $destination_table = 'one';

    } elseif ( $score >= GRADE_F_MIN ) {
        $grade = 'F';

    } else {
        $grade = 'AR';

    }

    $table = 'table_'.$destination_table.'_values';
    $$table[] = array(
        'course_id'     => $row4['course_id'],
        'student_id'    => $row4['student_id'],
        'score'         => $score,
        'grade'         => $grade
    );
}
