php - Marking few items from a list based on a database -
i have list of n items(in multiple categories) like
category 1 2 3 category b 1 2 ....
stored in mysql database. corresponding particular user, know m (m <=n) of them should marked user (stored in database userid|itemid
table.) while displaying them html list.

we can in o(mn) checking each list item against user history there better way? , can algorithm change if know m << n .
step 1: name variables populating checkboxes intelligently can reference them id of item.
step 2: pull (m) items out of database.
step 3: loop through (m), , each item in (m), mark checkbox 'checked'.
o(m) result.
