It's this a suicidal code?: Maybe I'm going to kill my own DB

[Ark del KAOS]

This is the code...

<if condition="$post['field18'] == 'TEXT-'">
    CODE A
<else />
<if condition="$post['field18'] == 'TEXT-B'">
    CODE B
<else />
<if condition="$post['field18'] == 'TEXT-C'">
    CODE C
<else />
<if condition="$post['field18'] == 'CODED'">
    CODE D
<else />
......

It's like this, but so many times more. Around 50 times.

When I first think of this...well, I think it'll make only one DB call for $post['field18'], and then compare the results with the IF possibilities.
But maybe not.

If I do this...I'm cutting my own throat? O o''
(If it's one db call for every one posibility....YES IT IS )

Maybe it's too obvious, but...well....I need to know it Sorry!
And thanks!
