Question

I have a query $sqlStr4 that “selects” these fields from a MySQL database:

loginid
username
created

The query $sqlStr4 is limited to 10 rows / results.

I also have the following variable:

$u = $_SESSION['username'];

I would like to assign another variable $topten a value of 1 if $u equals any of the ten username fields returned by the query $sqlStr4, and a value of 0 if it does not.

How can I do this?

Thanks in advance,

John

Use:

<?php

$u = $_SESSION['username'];
$topten = 0;

$result = mysql_query($sqlStr4);

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
  if ($row['username'] == $u) {
    $topten = 1;
    break;
  }
}

mysql_free_result($result);
?>
