Looping through dates and seeing if there's a match in the DB

[86Stang]

I've built a basic for loop to loop through the next two weeks worth of days:

 

$qry = "SELECT live_date FROM table";
$result = mysql_query($qry) or die("Error during query!");

$days_outlook = 14;
$cur_date = date('Y-m-d');

for ($i=strtotime($cur_date);$i<strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($cur_date)) . " +$days_outlook days");$i+=86400)
{
	echo date('Y-m-d', $i) . "<br>";
}

 

Works great.  What I'd like to do now is compare each date in the loop with the 'live_date' column of a database and if the looping date matches a date within the 'live_date' column don't display it (or maybe display it differently than the dates with no match).  Any chance I can get a hand on this?

By the way, if there's no easier way of doing this, I'm all ears!

Anyone?  Again, if this is the completely wrong way of doing it, feel free to school me!
