Maybe try somthing like this, write a function containing all your like
statements.

function likeStatements( ){

//write your statements in this function if they are always the same.

}

//then have an if structure like the following that calls that function in a
while loop.

if ( isset($a) && !isset($b) ){
 while ($a){
  likeStatements(); //you could also pass any needed info to the function.
 }
}elseif( isset($b) && !isset($a) ){
 while ($b){
  likeStatements();
 }
}elseif( isset($a) && isset($b) ){
 while ($a && $b){
  likeStatements();
 }
}

HTH,
Steve.

Subject: [PHP] question


I have a php question.

I would like to enter a "while" loop, but:
I want it to be like this:

when $a has a value, while $a...
when $b has a value, while $b... (same statements as with $a)
when $a has a value, and $b has a value, while $a and $b

this is based on a search system in which the user can enter a, b or a and
b. 

Can you help me with my problem, or help me find someone who can?!

Thanks.

Dore van Hoorn.
