Bob,

As you know I'm new to PHP, but wouldn't the best plain FileMaker way to do this be to do a 'Find' with the fields that are common to all first, and then do a single 'Constrain Found Set' with the catalog number queries each as its own record/request (i.e. ORing them)?

If that works in FileMaker, wouldn't there be a way to set this up in PHP?
