a user will search using those fields and get a result by a property id#

[/code]


above are the functions that relate to it.. mostly using getSpaces(); function.

as you can tell, it is a property search, where it searches min-max ($) in rent, min-max in sqfeet the property that is chosen and the district the property is in.
also they can sort the results using the sort form.

im always having some trouble queriying all the info out to relate to $id, so the results will read like ,  mypage.php?id=($property_id of search results)

thanks for all the help.
