Re: Suggestion for "IN()"

[Shawn McKenzie <nospam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Your first scenario can been done in a similar fashion to how you are 
used to doing it in SQL:

if ( in_array($a, array(1,4,20,...) ) {}

Your second scenario doesn't seem like there is much of a problem 
because it will always be short (can only have 2 comparisons).
