I am fairly new to sql and am now getting into the area of slightly more 
complex queries.

At present my query is

 $query = "SELECT * FROM $table_name WHERE sname LIKE '$search_string%' 
ORDER BY fname $type";

but I have two other filters which may or may not be chosen. (area, and 
interest).

 $query = "SELECT * FROM $table_name WHERE sname LIKE '$search_string%' AND 
area='area' AND interest='interest' ORDER BY fname $type";

but what if nether is chosen, or only one? Is there an AND/OR operator or 
similar in mysql?


Thanks,

Ross
