Pull values from a row based on ID - php

Question

Hoping someone can shed light on this. I am trying to pull the value from 2 fields from a row and based on the row being expired, exclude those 2 values from a drop down list.
I have a table (schedule)
gameID
homeID
visitorID
gameTimeEastern
weekNum
each week there are matchups where 2 teams play each other. Those 2 teams are in a row based on gameID with a specific start time (gameTimeEastern).
I have a function that determines when the matchup is locked, meaning the game has started:
function gameIsLocked($gameID) {
//find out if a game is locked
global $mysqli, $cutoffDateTime;
$sql = "select (DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL " . SERVER_TIMEZONE_OFFSET . " HOUR) > gameTimeEastern or DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL " . SERVER_TIMEZONE_OFFSET . " HOUR) > '" . $cutoffDateTime . "') as expired from " . DB_PREFIX . "schedule where gameID = " . $gameID;
$query = $mysqli->query($sql);
if ($query->num_rows > 0) {
$row = $query->fetch_assoc();
return $row['expired'];
}
$query->free;
die('Error getting game locked status: ' . $mysqli->error);
This basically determines if the row is expired (gameTimeEastern has passed). I then have a drop down on a form that has a list of all the teams from each matchup for that week.If the row is expired, then I do not want to include the homeID or visitorID from that row in the drop down.
On my page I am trying to show those teams from the expired row but it is failing as the page stops processing when it hit this:
//get expired teams
$expiredGames =gameIsLocked(gameID);
// echo 'Expired games are GAME ' . $expiredGames . '<br>';
for ($eti=1; $eti<=$gameID; $eti++)
{
if ($gameID[$eti]>''){
$sql = "select * from " . DB_PREFIX . "schedule WHERE gameID = '" . $gameID[$eti] . "';";
$query = $mysqli->query($sql);
if ($query->num_rows > 0) {
$result = $query->fetch_assoc();
$expiredHomeTeam = $result['homeID'];
$expiredVisitorTeam = $result['visitorID'];
}
}
echo 'Expired teams for GAME '.$gameID.' are '.$expiredHomeTeam.' and '.$expiredVisitorTeam.'<br>';
}
NEW CODE - Actually giving me the first result
//get expired teams
$expiredGames =gameIsLocked(gameID);
$sql = "select * from " . DB_PREFIX . "schedule WHERE weekNum = '6';";
$query = $mysqli->query($sql);
if ($query->num_rows > 0) {
$result = $query->fetch_assoc();
$expiredHomeTeam = $result['homeID'];
$expiredVisitorTeam = $result['visitorID'];
}
echo 'Expired teams for GAME ' . $expiredGames . ' are '.$expiredHomeTeam.' and '.$expiredVisitorTeam.'<br>';

Answer 1

Ended up using the SQL query to schedule to get results I needed. Thanks for the direction. The logic was already there, just needed to add an if statement to how I populated the array for teams in the drop down.
