picking a variable out of a loop from a function

[nelsons]

		

function getOptionDetail($oID){
			if($oID){
				$Q = "select "
				   . "	oID, "
				   . "	oNum, "
				   . "	pOption "
				   . "from "
				   . "	ds_options "
				   . "where "
				   . "	oID = '$oID' "
				   . "";

			$result = $this->mySQL_Array($Q);

			return $result;
		}
	}


	function getProductOptionString($pID){
		if($pID){
			$Q = "select "
			   . "	oID, "
			   . "	oNum, "
			   . "	pOption "
			   . "from "
			   . "	ds_options "
			   . "where "
			   . "	pID = '$pID' "
			   . "order by "
			   . "	oID "
			   . "";

			$result = $this->mySQL_Query($Q);
			$count = mysql_num_rows($result);

			if($count>0){
				$options = "<select name=\"oID\">\n";
				while($list = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
					$label = $this->scrubText($list[pOption]);

					$options .= "<option value=\"$list[oID]\">";
					$options .= $label;
					$options .= "</option>\n";
				}

				$options .= "</select>\n";

				return $options;
			}
		}
	}
?>

Am calling this loop by the following

<?php $options ? print "<font face=\"arial,verdana,helvetica\" size=2>Options:</font><br>$options<br><br>" : print ""; ?>

How might you query the $option variable to make a decision on displaying a graphic if it contains blue, red, green, or black?
