    An ex-coworker asked me to help him with his first website (maybe last?). It's for a real estate agency. He was stuck trying to process the search form with some selects (price range, state size, zone location, bla, bla.. ) All the code is a fucking mess, but this piece of crap excels among all other:

    $filter='';
    $type=$_POST['type']; // Home, Flat...
    $admin=$_POST['admin']; // Buy, Rent
    $zone=$_POST['zone']; // Situation area
    $m2=$_POST['m2']; // Size, stands for square meter
    $price=$_POST['price'];

        if(($type!="selec") AND ($admin!="selec") AND ($zone!="selec") AND ($m2!="selec") AND ($price!="selec")){
    $filter="type=\\"$type\\" AND admin=\\"$admin\\" AND price>=\\"$pricemin\\" AND price<=\\"$pricemax\\" AND city=\\"$city\\"";
    }elseif(($type!="selec") AND ($admin!="selec") AND ($pricemin!="") AND ($pricemax!="")){
    $filter="type=\\"$type\\" AND admin=\\"$admin\\" AND price>=\\"$pricemin\\" AND price<=\\"$pricemax\\"";
    }elseif(($type!="selec") AND ($admin!="selec") AND ($pricemin!="") AND ($city!="")){
    $filter="type=\\"$type\\" AND admin=\\"$admin\\" AND price>=\\"$pricemin\\" AND city=\\"$city\\"";
    }elseif(($type!="selec") AND ($admin!="selec") AND ($pricemax!="") AND ($city!="")){
    $filter="type=\\"$type\\" AND admin=\\"$admin\\" AND price>=\\"$pricemax\\" AND city=\\"$city\\"";
    }elseif(($type!="selec") AND ($pricemin!="") AND ($pricemax!="") AND ($city!="")){

      The ability to write total garbage is language- (and culture-) independent. ;P X| with the possible exception of APL, where nobody can tell if it's garbage or clever code. Described to me years ago as the world's first write-only language. Cheers, Peter

      No exception, it's possible to write good and bad APL, or even J. The problem is that it has more features, so it's easier to abuse, and a lot of it is written by academics who don't really believe in professional software practices.

          Well a comment or two would be pretty handy, as well as some better spacing (though I'm hoping you crammed it all together so it would fit better on the page?). That is one heck of a if statement though...

            Looks like perfectly normal PHP to me. You mean PHP doesn't have to look like a child wrote in in Quick Basic? If true, I am amazed... :laugh:

                      Wow this is very nice code. I´ll zeropad it to fixed line length copy an inversion of it to the front, rotate counterclockwise 90 degrees, apply a color index substitution. Et voila, we´ve got a sprite for a space invaders clone.
