Not sure if this a good place to post this , but just looking for a design standpoint, I have a script include that is going to accept three values of data , the user type , created date, and department, each function will get the each piece of data
| user type | data created | department |
| Platinum | 2001 | help desk |
| Platinum | 2012 | help desk |
| Platinum | 2012 | help desk |
| Platinum | 2012 | help desk |
| Gold | 2001 | hr |
| Gold | 2001 | hr |
| Gold | 2000 | hr |
one scenarios could be if the user type is gold, and date is before 2012 and dept is hr then output a value, there are about 20 permatations depending on these scenarios, from a design is there a better way of doing this without a bunch of if loops?
