A neat little trick would be to create the initial part of the statement with a predefined where clause based on some record state. For instance, we use a record_deleted field, since we don't delete data. He could start his statement by automatically looking for it
select * from tablename where record_deleted = 'No'
then any additional clauses that get added all require the AND keyword. No more problem

I can't think of an instance where a query would have the phrase "WHERE AND". Perhaps if you post the contents of the $additionalsql variable, we can tell you why it's not working.
You may actually be looking to use an array for your search words in str_replace(), or perhaps grep.

Hi there everyone,
I?m having a weird problem and I?m not sure why, if I try to replace WHERE
AND with just WHERE it won?t do it, but if I try to replace WHERE or AND by
themselves it WILL do it, but I cannot replace BOTH of them from a single
string, is something wrong below?
$additionalsql = str_replace("WHERE AND", "WHERE", $additionalsql);
Basically I?m trying to replace WHERE AND with just WHERE as I?m building a
very complex SQL query and it?s a difficult one, and I have a solution that
works perfectly but I need this to work in order to do it.
I would appreciate any help on this, as it?s very important.
Chris
