best way is this.
if ($CID)
$query[] = "CID = '$CID'";
if ($CUserName)
$query[] = "CUserName = '$CUserName'";
if ($CAge)
$query[] = "CAge = '$CAge'";
if ($CEducation)
$query[] = "CEducation = '$CEducation'";
if (isset($query))
$query = "SELECT * FROM clients WHERE CID = '$CID' AND CUserName =
'$CUserName' " . implode(' AND ', $query);
else
$query = "SELECT * FROM clients WHERE CID = '$CID' AND CUserName =
'$CUserName' ";
but this works too...
$query = "SELECT * FROM clients WHERE CID = '$CID' AND CUserName =
'$CUserName' ";
if ($CAge)
$query .= " AND CAge = '$CAge'";
if ($CEducation)
$query .= " AND CEducation = '$CEducation'";
the latter only works if there is at LEAST one variable to be used.
Is this what you meant? no? email me k.
