A-Z List with Active/Inactive letters

[Tourex]

I have to produce a set of tabs number starting with one for numbers 0-9, and then a tab for each letter of the alphabet A-Z. These will list product groups, with the tabs activated (and linked) where products starting with the letter exist, and then greyed-out if no products exist.

I'm happy with getting the list of 'active' groups from the datebase using the following query...

"SELECT DISTINCT UPPER(LEFT(ht_Groups,1)) as letters FROM ProdGroups ORDER BY letters"

However, I can't figure how to get the results into an array that will help me identify which of the tabs should be active, and which should be inactive.

Can anyone help me please. Thanks in anticipation.

Hi,

Take a look at this example:

$active = array('B', 'F', 'T');
$all = array('0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P', 'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z');
foreach($all as $a){
  if(in_array($a, $active)){
   echo '<a href="#">', $a, '</a>';
  }
  else{
   echo $a;
  }
  echo '<br>';
}
