Re: DB_DataObjects and generating search filters

Are you asking if you would need to check if each post field is set? I wouldn't think so. If you wrapped something a bit like the code I provided in a loop (for each element of $_POST) then I think it would work the way you expected. Even if a a given $_POST variable was empty, then it would end up producing the SQL "field_name LIKE '%%'", which means, 'like anything'. If you didn't want that (it is a waste of processing after all), then you just put a simple if statement inside your loop. I don't see any problem with using this in general code.
