[FX.php List] Finding multiple records from multiple values forsame field

[Bob Patin]

Roger,

It's working fine for me here.

In the web app that I'm building, users can compare several records  
from the current found set, by clicking checkboxes for the desired  
records. The query will then find the selected records and display  
this constrained set using this query:

So I wrote this, and it's working fine:

$query=new FX($serverIP,$webCompanionPort);
	$query->SetDBData($dbname,$table_name,'all');
	$query->SetDBPassword($webpw,$webun);
	$query->AddSortParam('manufacturer','ascend');
	$query->AddSortParam('product','ascend');
	$num_records = $_POST['num_records']; // $num_records is the previous  
foundCount for the found set they were viewing
	
	// loop thru the last found set, retrieve all the checkbox values
	// if it's checked, add its line to the query
	$x = 0;
	while ($x<($num_records+1)){
		if(strlen($_POST['c_'.$x])>0){
			$query->AddDBParam('recid',$_POST['c_'.$x]);
		}
	$x++;
	}
	
	$query->SetLogicalOR();
	$queryResult=$query->FMFind();

Hope this helps,
