But it begs the question why you would want to do this?
it's a handy way to white list data. e.g.
if (in_array($_GET['yourarg'], $allowedValsForYourArg)) echo "nice arg
dude";
(btw: no need to beg ;-)
I agree that the in_array function is useful, but the OP was asking for
a way to shorten (a == 1 or a == 2). Maybe the question was poorly
stated and meant to ask how to compare a variable to a larger number of
values but that's not what I got from it.
Well that's exactly what i wanted
if (a == 1 AND a == 2 OR a ==3 OR a == c_d OR a == my_function())
i wanted to write it like:
IF (a == 1 AND 2 OR 3 OR c_d OR my_function())
YI read it as an 'I want to
save my fingers a bit of typing' and wondered if I was missing the point.
well exactly. I want to save some typing.
Having rater long variables or associative arrays is much of typing
if ($db_array["my_fieldname"] != $other_db_array["my_other_fieldname"]
OR $db_array["my_fieldname"] == 2 OR $db_array["my_fieldname"] ==
my_very_special_functionname())
and so on.
