PAIN

I can look at goatse, no problem. I can surf 4chan, no problem. I can watch the ugliest shit and not flinch. But the code I'm working with causes physical pain!

Imagine...

Imagine a file with about four thousand lines (yep, that's right, 4000). There, you will find such gems like the following. Note that I've grepped out the "if" statements, as the content in each block is trivial (puts together a single variable). For illustration, look at the first and last entry block to get an idea what the code does.

And here we go: 

if(!empty($searchSubject) && empty($searchLevel) && empty($searchProfile) && empty($searchCountry) && empty($searchVertical) ) {
   $concat='( partnersMain.subject like "'.'%'.$searchSubject.'%'.'")';
}
elseif(empty($searchSubject) && !empty($searchLevel)  && empty($searchProfile) && empty($searchCountry) && empty($searchVertical)) {
elseif(empty($searchSubject)  && empty($searchLevel) && !empty($searchProfile) && empty($searchCountry) && empty($searchVertical)) {
elseif(empty($searchSubject) && empty($searchLevel) && empty($searchProfile) && !empty($searchCountry) && empty($searchVertical)) {
elseif(empty($searchSubject) && empty($searchLevel) && empty($searchProfile) && empty($searchCountry) && !empty($searchVertical)) {
elseif(!empty($searchSubject) && !empty($searchLevel) && empty($searchProfile) && empty($searchCountry) && empty($searchVertical)) {
elseif(!empty($searchSubject) && empty($searchLevel) && !empty($searchProfile) && empty($searchCountry) && empty($searchVertical)) {
elseif(!empty($searchSubject) && empty($searchLevel) && empty($searchProfile) && !empty($searchCountry) && empty($searchVertical)) {
elseif(!empty($searchSubject) && empty($searchLevel) && empty($searchProfile) && empty($searchCountry) && !empty($searchVertical)) {
elseif(empty($searchSubject) && !empty($searchLevel) && !empty($searchProfile) && empty($searchCountry) && empty($searchVertical)) {
elseif(empty($searchSubject) && !empty($searchLevel) && empty($searchProfile) && !empty($searchCountry) && empty($searchVertical)) {
elseif(empty($searchSubject) && !empty($searchLevel) && empty($searchProfile) && empty($searchCountry) && !empty($searchVertical)) {
elseif(empty($searchSubject) && empty($searchLevel) && !empty($searchProfile) && !empty($searchCountry) && empty($searchVertical)) {
elseif(empty($searchSubject) && empty($searchLevel)  && !empty($searchProfile) && empty($searchCountry) && !empty($searchVertical)) {

           partnersLevel.category_id = "'.$searchLevel.'" AND
           partnersProfile.category_id= "'.$searchProfile.'" AND
           partnersCountry.category_id="'.$searchCountry.'" AND
           partnersVertical.category_id like "'.$searchVertical.'"
           )';
}
