OK, lets see...
I have 10 text boxes to enter keywords into a form page (The master search
page)
These boxes are either set or not set when passed to the result page as set
or unset variables.
Depending on which variables have been set, the set variables are used to
formulate the query.
I have got this to work perfectly... but I am convinced that I'm using the
dinosour method. ie.:
if ($a==a && $b==a && $c==a && $d==a && $e==a && $f==a && $g==a && $h==a &&
$i==a && $j==a)
{ do thing AA}
elseif ($a!=a && $b==a && $c==a && $d==a && $e==a && $f==a && $g==a && $h==a
&& $i==a && $j==a)
{ do thing BB}
elseif ($a==a && $b!=a && $c==a && $d==a && $e==a && $f==a && $g==a && $h==a
&& $i==a && $j==a)
{ do thing CC}
elseif ($a==a && $b==a && $c!=a && $d==a && $e==a && $f==a && $g==a && $h==a

elseif ($a==a && $b==a && $c==a && $d!=a && $e==a && $f==a && $g==a && $h==a

{ do thing EE}

- OK... For those eagle eyes out there... I actually have 14 different
fields in which to set variables... two pairs of which are grouped together
as max/min values,
but I do really have 3649 lines of stuff that is slowing down my DUAL PIII
500 on saves.
This can't be the right way... really???
