if all your different AA, BB, CC etc. "things to do" are completely
different, then they WILL all need to be coded.

However, if they are all just variations of a single bit of code - which
could be made to take the vars passed from the form as arguments, you'd
have a much shorter/better program.

All your comparisons are binary, i.e. $x is either ==a or !=a, therefor
your 14 or however many fields, can all be represented as a single
binary 'number', which you can pass as an argument

You really do need to provide some more information, like what is
actaully is you're trying to do.
