Filtering an Array Based on Value

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

I have a very simple script set up that pulls data from a database and is output using this code:

Code: Print "<table border cellpadding=3>";
Print "<th>sku</th><th>status</th><th>name</th>";
while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $data ))
{
Print "<tr>";
Print "<td>".$info['sku'] . "</td> ";
Print "<td>".$info['status'] . "</td> ";
Print "<td>".$info['name'] . " </td></tr>";
}
Print "</table>";
However, I would like to only output rows that meet certain criteria. More specifically, I only want to show rows in which the 'status' field contains the text value "Out of stock" at any position within the field. (e.g. some fields say "Out of stock. On order.")

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

And here's a sample of what the table output currently looks like:
2250In stock.Product One2251In stock. On order.Product Two2252Out of stock. On order.Product Three2253Out of stock.Product Four
