Question

I am trying to return records based on the cities that someone chooses. It works fine with one city. But I tried to put the “OR” in there and it still only returns results for one city. Not both. Am I doing something wrong here. It looks okay to me but I have to be doing something wrong.

$result = mysql_query("
SELECT 
  lat,lng,id,re,per_num,name,city,state,zip,address,status,category,size,
  ( 3959 * acos( cos( radians(40.000000) ) 
               * cos( radians( lat ) ) 
               * cos( radians( lng ) - radians(-75.000000) ) 
               + sin( radians(40.000000) ) 
               * sin( radians( lat ) ) 
               )
  ) AS distance 
FROM 
  buildings 
WHERE 
  (city='$cities[0]' OR city='$cities[1]') 
  AND re='$re2'
  AND status='$status2' 
  AND size='$size2' 
HAVING 
  distance < 25  
ORDER BY 
  distance 
LIMIT 
  0 , 20  
                     ");

Answer 1

Your request is constrained not only by your $cities entries but also by

AND re='$re2' AND status='$status2' AND size='$size2'

And also by

 HAVING distance < 25

May the missing city entrie not comply to any of those constraints, it won’t be in the request result.
