Hey all,
I need a little logic and technical help. I need to develop a progression indicator, a red ligh, green light, yellow light of sorts. I am doing a query on an item where the quantity will vary. Then for each of those items, I need to loop and query to see if the recordcount(s) for that item is greater than 0 for each user. Basically I am checking to see if students have uploaded their assignments. No uploads = red. Some uploads but not all = yellow all uploaded = green.
The query below pulls the items for a particular course. Now I need to know the count of the items (without doing a separate query) and need to compare the number of items that have uploads. Ok, this all makes sense in my head :)
So the questions are:
How do I get a record count of a custom SQL like below?
Is there a better way to compare and figure out the status of the uploads for this user?
Thanks for helping. My head hurts.

$sql = "SELECT course_cp_index FROM course_cp WHERE crs_num='".$student_roster->crs_num->GetValue()."' and cp_active=1";
$db->query($sql);
while ($db->next_record())
{
echo "course_cp_index=". $db->f("course_cp_index");
}
$db->close;

Hey guys,
I am in some dire need of assistance and logic help. I am trying to read a course roster, get the number of assignments and determine if the student has uploaded something for all assignments. I need to chance an image to reflect their status. Red no assignments completed. Yellow, some completed. Green, all completed. I thought this would be easy but I was wrong, at least for me. I have put the following code in the before_show_image server event and the output (also below) is not what I think should happen with the loops. Anyone want to take a second to look at the logic? Greatly appreciated.

$greenimage="../images/greencheck.png";
$redimage="../images/redmark.png";
$yellowimage="../images/yellowwarning.png";
// Set the student upload status to 0 indicating no uploads
$upload_status=0;
echo "upload_status initialized to 0<br>";
// open a new database connection
$db = new clsDBportfolio();
$db2 = new clsDBportfolio();
// setup WHERE statement to be about to count the number of active performances
$where = "crs_num='".$student_roster->crs_num->GetValue()."' and cp_active=1";
// Count the number of active performances for this Course

if ($upload_status = $cp_count) {
this assigns value $cp_count to $upload_status
use == or === operators in IF statements

Lucius,
If you were here I would kiss you (although that would be awkward  )
That solved my problem in a couple clicks. Thanks for helping me solve my rookie mistakes.
