Multiple Do / While Statements?

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

I'm still very new to PHP, and running in to a problem when trying to execute a do/while loop inside another one.
What I'm trying to achieve is that I want to display all of the records in one table that match my SQL Query defined as 'Recordset1'.
And, while that is happening, I want to cross-reference my records in a 2nd table, and if the description in Table 2 Matches the Description in Table 1, print a results message right next to the description from 'Recordset1'.

My problem isn't setting up the SQL queries - I'm currently able to get the correct results returned to me, as long as I print the results in a separate table... my problem is getting the results message to print RIGHT NEXT TO the results of 'Recordset1', because the 'Recordset1' results are inside of do/while loop.

There is probably a very simple solution to this, and there's a good possibility that I'm approaching this the wrong way... I just can't wrap my head around it yet...

If anyone has any input, it would be very appreciated!
Thanks!

Code: [Select]<?php

do {
if(isset($row_Recordset1['description'])) { ?>
<tr>
<td> <?php echo $row_Recordset1['description']?>
<?php

do{
$R1 = $row_Recordset1['description'];
$R2 = $row_Recordset2['description'];

if ($R1== $R2) {
print("It's a Match<br />");
} else
print("No Match<br />")
}while ----????????????? ----
?>

</td>
</tr>
<?php }else break;
} while ($row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1)); ?>
