I’m working on a website and Im trying to find people who are in the same classes as the logged in user. Here is a pic of the users table I’m working out of.
It should only show people that are in the same classes as the logged in user and not including the logged in user. I believe that that part works fine, but Im trying to show the classes underneath their name they have in common with the logged user. Could someone point me in a direction to go upon doing this? The way I am doing it now, the $peopleInClass array values always equal 0 for some reason.
[php]
<?php
//Connect to database: location, username, password
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
//If not connected, throw an error and say why
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
//Select the database to use
mysql_select_db("maindb", $con);
?>
