i have the table with all the information

**Produce a function, showClass, which will take in an argument, $prefix, and produce a class list that matches the class prefix supplied by $prefix. For example, when you call the function showClass(‘CTEC’), only CTEC classes will be listed.
and
**To demonstrate the functionality of your script, call the showClass function with the argument set to $_GET[‘prefix’] at the end of your script.

the foreach looks good but echo out $item[‘Course’] a.s.o.

and put it inside the function as u have to.
