<?php
$where = array( '1 = 1' );
if( !empty( $_POST['name'] ) )
{
where[] = 'name = '.$db->quote( $_POST['name'] );
}
if( !empty( $_POST['colour'] ) )
{
where[] = 'colour = '.$db->quote( $_POST['colour'] );
}
if( !empty( $_POST['size'] ) )
{
where[] = 'size = '.$db->quote( $_POST['size'] );
}
if( !empty( $_POST['status'] ) )
{
where[] = 'status = '.$db->quote( $_POST['status'] );
}
$query =
"SELECT "
." * "
."FROM "
." inventory "
."WHERE "
." (".implode( ") AND (", $where ).")";
?>
