Ok, understandable that you are learning... :) Basically with your
code you are asking the database for all the quote id(s) where the movie
id is a match to your movie, and then saving it to an array ($result).
Might as well grab all the data you're after while you're there the
first time, which is what my code should do.

Is this after you created indexes on tconst and qconst? Without those
indexes your times will get significantly worst as you db gets bigger.

It only requires one call now, really.

Search for 'database normalization'.

Look here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/

And as an example:
