Hi, was wondering if anyone can give me advice on how I can carry this out.

two mysql tables 
one with a list of names
------------------
bobby
angel
joey
brandy
jeff
mike
------------------


the other one with also a list of names (this table will include less 
+names at all times)
------------------
jeff
mike


------------------

So if table 1 will always have about 5-15 more names and table 2 will always have way less, only about 3-4 rows or so....how can I join them and print them in the web browser into one list, having any name highlighted in BOLD if it appears in both tables. So the above list will be printed as:

bobby
angel
joey
brandy
jeff
mike


I see one way but it might not be as efficient. The tables will grow in the future so I need to keep this in mind. One way was fetching both tables into arrays, and do a foreach statement on one array and tryin to match it to the values in the other. Am I on the right track with this? Not quite sure...well thanks.
