I'm a cold fusion refugee and am having incredible problems with something
that I think is relatively easy -- so I must be missing something basic.
I would like to pull info from a query string and use it inside a database
call
I have a navigation bar that includes data pulled from a database.
Simplified version below
INTO
ABOUT
CLASSES
--section1
--section2
--section3
--section4
I would like to do:
//PSEUDO CODE
if (section == $sectionName){
display as bold
}else{
display normally
}
PHP SQL call below work nicely:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($selection)){
echo $row["sectionName"];
}
now I would like to do the if/else
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($selection)){
if (section == $sectionName){
echo "<b>" . $row["sectionName"] . "</b>";
}else{
echo $row["sectionName"];
}
thx
