You could select these results into a temporary table
and then query that table. Look at the mysql.com docs
and check out the CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE. You can
select data right into the table and the table is
erased when the connection closes.
But first it looks like cleaning up your query would
probably be the best way to get what you want.
try something like
$query = "SELECT * FROM search WHERE ";
if ($description) {
$query .= "description LIKE '$description%' AND ";
}
if ($state) {
$query .= "state = '$state' AND "; }
if ($city) {
$query .= "city = '$city' AND "; }
if ($fname) {
$query .= "fname = '$fname' AND "; }
$query .= "(category = '$category' AND country =
'$country' AND type = '$type') ORDER BY city ASC LIMIT
$offset, $item_perpage";
have fun,
