Hi all I have written the following code, but I dont' think it's a good way to write like this. Is there some other way to do good programming for this ?! **************************************************************************** ****************** if ($f) { $SQL .= " (FIRST_NAME like '%$f%') AND "; } if ($l) { $SQL .= " (LAST_NAME like '%$l%') AND "; } if ($em) { $SQL .= " (HOME_EMAIL1 like '%$em%') OR (HOME_EMAIL2 like '%$em%') OR (WORK_EMAIL1 like '%$em%') OR (WORK_EMAIL2 like '%$em%') "; } **************************************************************************** ****************** Any help is appreciated very much.
