Hello Jim,
I heard of arrays in the following context:
if (($foo==5) || ($foo=="orange") || ($foo==88) ......
So *that* would be done much better and cleaner with arrays.
$FoosArray=array(5, "orange", 88);
if (in_array($foo, $FoosArray)) { ... }

Subject: Re: What's faster using if else or arrays?
how many entries are you talking about, ie., how many conditions? Obviously
if you have more than 4-5 it's going to be easier to code up as a case
statement (?) rather than an if/else.
Never in all my days have I ever heard of using an array for such a
determination though.
