RE: [PHP] querying for values inside range

Hi Jason, > $sql = "select * from table where age>=$age1 and age<=$age2"; > what if i don't know which is value is greater, age1 or age2? PHP has a couple of handy functions for this: min() and max() $min = min($age1, $age2); // get smallest of two values $max = max($age1, $age2); // get largest of two values $sql = "select * from table where age >= $min and age <= $max"; You could also use BETWEEN in your query, which I think reads better: $sql = "select * from table where age between $min and $max"; This isn't connected to your question, but have a look at this when you have a spare 5 minutes: http://adopenstatic.com/faq/selectstarisbad.asp Cheers Jon
