Question

    <input type="checkbox" name="average" value="average" <? if (get_option('average') == 'average'){ echo 'checked="checked"';} ?>>Average

    <input type="checkbox" name="petite" value="petite" <? if (get_option('petite') == 'petite'){ echo 'checked="checked"';} ?>>Petite



     if ( get_option('average') == 'average' ): // choose category
    $average = "AND build = '".get_option('average')."'";
    endif;

    if ( get_option('petite') == 'petite' ): // choose category
    $petite = "OR build = '".get_option('petite')."'";
    endif;


    $qry = mysql_query("SELECT performerid,pic0 FROM ".$table." WHERE **$average $petite** ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 20");

How can i make this code work? I need the sql query to work if $average is selected, is both $average and $petite are selected, or just $petite is selected?

TY!

Answer 1

you may use something like this:

$selectedCategories = array();
foreach(array('petite', 'average', 'athletic') as $category)
{
  if (get_option($category) == $category)
  {
    $selectedCategories[] = $category;
  }
}

$qry = mysql_query(
 "SELECT performerid,pic0 
    FROM ".$table." 
   WHERE build IN('" . implode("', '", $selectedCategories) . "') 
ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 20;");

Note: this won’t work if you select no category.
