You're going have to trim this down a lot - people answer questions on this list out of good will and for most people that doesn't include reading 500+ lines of code. I will say this: global variables yuck, I hope all those * symbols aren't actually in your code and you are opening yourself to sql injection Reduce your problem to a short example (you still haven't said what it is that isn't working) and you might get some help

With code like this:

def advanced_search   $elementspro = params[:elementprovince]   $elementstype = params[:elementstype]   $elementsequipment = params[:elementsequipment]   $elementdown = params[:elementdown]   $elementstatus = params[:elementstatus]   $elementapproval = params[:elementapproval]   $elementteam = params[:elementteam]   $elementstaffname = params[:elementstaffname]   $frm_view_setup = params[:frm_view_setup]   @tblpss_description_records = TblpssDescriptionRecord.paginate :page => params[:page], :conditions=>"province='" + $elementspro + "'" + "or type_of_job='" + $elementstype + "'" + "or equipment_part='" + $elementsequipment + "'" + "or sitedown='" + $elementdown + "'" + "or job_status='" + $elementstatus + "'" + "or job_status='" + $elementapproval + "'" + "or team_on_job='" + $elementteam + "'" + "or RecorderName='" + $elementstaffname + "'", :order => 'jobNo ASC', :per_page => $per_page end

you might as well post your database password in public. This is dangerous code. It allows SQL injection.

It's pretty clear you come from a PHP world. I suggest you read a few books on Ruby programming, and google a bit for "rails sql injection." Your code is a security nightmare.

You should really read basics about variable types in ruby. All your $... vars are globals. It's not threadsafe and really hugly.

You should really learn to give readable names to your vars

(ex: params[:elements][:province]).

Why

$elementspro = params[:elementprovince] #... :conditions => "province=" + $elementspro

instead of

:conditions => "province=" + params[:elementprovince]

???. your code will be more readable and threadsafe

Why

:conditions => "province=" + $element

instead of

:conditions => ['province = :elementprovince', params]

??? your code will be more readable AND SAFE!!!

I agree with Michael, you clearly come from php. Ruby is not php. First, there's threads like in any other correct language and it means you have to handle with. Second, in rails, every good practice is often (always?!) simpler to use than bad practice. Every rails tutorial use good SQL practice, why not you?

Even your html is ugly.

- Instead of millions of checkboxes, use multiple lists - Don't write your javascript in your html page - Don't use divs (or anything else) out of body - Don't declare body anywhere else than in your layouts - Don't use logic in view (page = params[:page]) => will_paginate handle nil params[:page] for you - Use cool syntax like: page = params[:page] || 1 - Don't use table, unless for tabular data presentation (table is a table, not a visual tool) - Don't use style propertie in html, use css in separated css file(s)

NEVER USE GLOBAL VARS! it's really rare when you can justify of their using. I think you're clearly not ready to use mvc and oop, go read manuals. You just proved, another time, that most of php coders suck.

With code like this:

def advanced_search $elementspro = params[:elementprovince] $elementstype = params[:elementstype] $elementsequipment = params[:elementsequipment] $elementdown = params[:elementdown] $elementstatus = params[:elementstatus] $elementapproval = params[:elementapproval] $elementteam = params[:elementteam] $elementstaffname = params[:elementstaffname] $frm_view_setup = params[:frm_view_setup] @tblpss_description_records = TblpssDescriptionRecord.paginate :page => params[:page], :conditions=>"province='" + $elementspro + "'" + "or type_of_job='" + $elementstype + "'" + "or equipment_part='" + $elementsequipment + "'" + "or sitedown='" + $elementdown + "'" + "or job_status='" + $elementstatus + "'" + "or job_status='" + $elementapproval + "'" + "or team_on_job='" + $elementteam + "'" + "or RecorderName='" + $elementstaffname + "'", :order => 'jobNo ASC', :per_page => $per_page end

you might as well post your database password in public. This is dangerous code. It allows SQL injection.

Please, please please

use readable names for your variables or class names

what does mean TblpssDescriptionRecord?

I tried to rewrite it to help you but it's really too ugly and really doesn't mean nothing.

STOP reassign your params vars, use:

params[:elementdown].each do |element_down|   .... end if params[:elementdown]

and why do you repeat your find on each when? why not?

conditions = case xxx when ... then nil when ... then ['sitedown = ?', element_down] end

YourFuckingUnreadableModel.paginate(:conditions => conditions, :per_page => per_page, :page => page)

hu?

You should learn coding before ruby or rails.
