You rock so hard. Won’t you send a link for something from Amazon? We owe you big time.
Let me know if there is anything at all I can do for you.

thanks for the kind words 
i don’t expect anything in return, so why not, when the opportunity arises, help someone else on the forums, kind of like paying it forward
Thanks so much for your help, you’ve really gone over and above. Maybe it’s my good karma for running a WordPress help forum. We’ve got quite a way to go on this though and time is starting to drag. Would love to hire you for a couple hours to get this thing ironed out if you are interested.
Anyway, next issue is that I need to pull in all the wp_posts fields in the query, but also it’s associated postmeta values. It needs to be all in one row for easy feed to data display system, like…
ID, post_title, post_content, last_image_guid, ad_city, ad_state, etc.
Still got to get zip code, city/state by mile range implemented in there too, sheesh.
Hope you’ve been well
Philip
