[snip] I need to do an OR search on three columns, and AND the rest, anyone have a good way to do this? So far my searching on the MySQL lists have been fruitless more then anything, and I figured we've probably come across this ourselves at some point. [/snip] More of a MySQL question, but easily enough answered; Always group the OR with parenthese and the AND individually. Write the query and test with MySQL before placing into PHP code; SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE (`foo` = 'bar' OR `foo` = 'glorp' OR `sqirk` = 'glorp') AND `today` = CURDATE() AND `userID` = 'Marvin' -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
