I actually created an array of different conditions like:
$ConditionsArray = array("Var1 > 500","Var2 < 1800","ID=43");
and then:
$Conditions = join(" AND ", $ConditionsArray);
This constructs:
$Conditions = "Var1 > 500 AND Var2 < 1800 AND ID=43";
<shrug> Worked well for me.

Subject: [PHP-DB] Advice On Building Dynamic MySQL Queries
I am building a query from a search form. This is the code I have now:
if (!empty($whereclause))
{
$whereclause=urldecode($whereclause);
$whereclause=stripslashes($whereclause);
}
extract($HTTP_POST_VARS);
if (!empty($Price))
{
if(empty($whereclause))
{
$whereclause.="Price$Price";
}
else
{
$whereclause.=" AND 'Price $Price";
}
}
if (!empty($Area))
{
if(empty($whereclause))
{
$whereclause.="Area LIKE '$Area'";
}
else
{
$whereclause.=" AND Area LIKE '$Area'";
}
}
if (!empty($MLS_Number))
{
if(empty($whereclause))
{
$whereclause.="MLS_Number LIKE
'$MLS_Number'";
}
else
{
$whereclause.=" AND MLS_Number LIKE
'$MLS_Number'";
}
}
if (!empty($File_Number))
{
if(empty($whereclause))
{
$whereclause.="File_Number LIKE
'$File_Number'";
}
else
{
$whereclause.=" AND File_Number LIKE
'$File_Number'";
}
}
if (!empty($Description))
{
if(empty($whereclause))
{
$whereclause.="Description LIKE
'%$Description%'";
}
else
{
$whereclause.=" AND Description LIKE
'%$Description%'";
}
}
$query="SELECT
lid,Price,Address,Area,Description,File_Number,Realtor_First_name FROM
listings LEFT JOIN areas ON (listings.aid=areas.aid) LEFT JOIN realtors ON
(listings.rid1=realtors.rid) LEFT JOIN prop_types ON
(listings.ptid=prop_types.ptid) LEFT JOIN prop_styles ON
(listings.psid=prop_styles.psid) WHERE $whereclause order by Price ASC";
#echo "$query<br>";
if(empty($whereclause))
{
echo"<center><h2>You Did Not Specify Anything To Search
For!</h2><br>
<a href=\"javascript:history.back()\">Back</a></center>";
}
else
{
$results=$CONNECTION->Execute("$query") or
DIE($CONNECTION->ErrorMsg());
$results__numRows=0;
$results__totalRows=$results->RecordCount();
echo $results->Fields("aid");
echo "$query<br><br>";
while ($results__numRows<$results__totalRows)
{
#<SNIP> Display stuff
$results__numRows++;
$results->MoveNext();
}
$results->Close();
}
It Just became apparent that I am going to need to add a whole bunch more
search criteria.. Does anyone have any advice/suggestions for getting rid of
all those if statements?
