Would you believe a requirement? Long story, but the architecture's
that way and that way to stay. I am trying to come up with a DB based
solution to this by stuffing serialize($_REQUEST) into a db table, but
I'm using $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] as the unique identifier for each
person's filtering request, and of course, when I select from within
the CLI PHP.. zappo! No criteria, because no $_SERVER!
