$sql = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT business_region FROM business WHERE business_category='occupation'");
// count the output amount
$businessCount = mysql_num_rows($sql);
if ($businessCount > 0) {
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
$business_region = $row["business_region"];
$Region_view .= "display value";
}
}
This gives a following result:
Michigan Toronto Ohio Manchester London Sydney Paris
I want to select only Ohio and London
as a variable value as:
$Region_view .
Perhaps I can use if else structure, but I could not get it to work.
i.e. I need to select only Ohio, London
I can do it using joint MySQL statement but it is too slow so I need and ask for a different way.

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT business_region FROM business WHERE business_category ='occupation'");
// count the output amount
$businessCount = mysql_num_rows($sql);
if ($businessCount > 0) {
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
$business_region = $row["business_region"];
if ($business_region == 'Ohio' || $business_region == 'London') // added
$Region_view .= $business_region;//changed
}
}
