6.x CourseList.php	CourseList::find_specific_course($course_id = 0, $term_id = 0, $bool_transfer = false, $bool_exclude_substitutions = true, Course $use_course = null, $sub_req_by_degree_id = 0)

Find and return a specific course from the list.

Parameters

int $course_id:

• The course_id to look for. Do not set if using $use_course.

int $term_id:

• The term_id for the course to look for. Do not set if using $use_course.

bool $bool_transfer:

• Is the course we are looking for a transfer course? Do not use if using $use_course.

bool $bool_exclude_substitutions:

• If TRUE, we will not consider courses which have been used in a substitution.

Course $use_course:

• Optional. If you already have a course object which can be used as a template to search for, specify it here. Otherwise, set to NULL. If using this, then $course_id, $term_id, and $bool_transfer will be ignored.

Int $sub_req_by_degree_id:

• Optional. If set, we will only exclude substituted courses if they were substitutions made for this degree_id. Leave 0 if not sure what to use.

Return value
