JustinD2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Hello all! I am new to the forums and this is my first post. I've tried to search for an answer but have come up empty handed so I thought I'd just ask outright. I am building a website for a local car dealership and they want to have a "Vehicles" page where it shows a list of all the vehicles in inventory and the consumer can sort the inventory by Make, Model, Year, Color, and/or Price. I'm working with php and MySQL and I am a newbie coder trying to learn on my own. I know how to sort querys but I am completely lost when it comes to sorting with dynamic/multiple variable chosen by the user. Please help. I know my code sucks but any advise will be SUPER helpful. <?php include "storescripts/connect_to_mysql.php"; if(isset($_POST['Year'])){ $where = "WHERE"; if(isset($_POST['Color'])) { $and = "AND"; } else { $and = ""; } if(isset($_POST['Model'])) { $and = "AND"; } else { $and = ""; } $yearArr = "'" . implode("','", $_POST['Year']) . "'"; $yearSort = "Year IN($yearArr) $and"; if(isset($_POST['Color'])){ $colorArr = "'" . implode("','", $_POST['Color']) . "'"; $colorSort = "Color IN($colorArr)"; } else { $colorArr = ""; $colorSort = ""; } if(isset($_POST['Model'])){ $modelArr = "'" . implode("','", $_POST['Model']) . "'"; $modelSort = "Model IN($modelArr)"; } else { $modelArr = ""; $modelSort = ""; } } else { $yearArr = ""; $yearSort = ""; $where = ""; } if(isset($_POST['Color'])){ $where = "WHERE"; if(isset($_POST['Year'])) { $and = "AND"; } else { $and = ""; } if(isset($_POST['Model'])) { $and = "AND"; } else { $and = ""; } $colorArr = "'" . implode("','", $_POST['Color']) . "'"; $colorSort = "Color IN($colorArr) $and"; if(isset($_POST['Year'])){ $yearArr = "'" . implode("','", $_POST['Year']) .
