This is my first post here & hopefully it's not a stupid one.
I have a mysql db that takes data from a c-shell script and I built a web interface to access the data in a very clean manner. Everything works how it's supposed to and the layout is exactly what I was after.
Now I want to be able to pass multiple search terms to the page and have it find and display all the entries on one page.
I was thinking that I would need to upload the text/csv file to the server then parse each line of the file and put them into an array that I can then write a foreach loop to find all of the entries I am searching for.
I have anywhere from 50-100+ items to search for at a time and it would be great to have a way that I can automate the process without having to input each search term individually.
Does anyone have any ideas how I should go about doing this?
Thanks in advance for any help anone can offer.

fgetcsv() is going to be your easiest solution.
Just add items to your array on each iteration of the loop.
