I wanted to see if anyone has an easier way to do this. The end result
is this: I need to compare 7 different text strings(which are in an
array). They should all be the same, if they are not the same, a message
should be outputted saying they weren't.
How would one do this outside of using a huge if/then statement?
---------------------------
Two approaches come to mind off the top of my head:
$values = array_count_values($array);
if (count($values)>1):
// there's more than one unique value in the array
endif;
or...
$value = $array[0];
for ($i=1; $i<7; ++$i):
if ($array[$i]!= $value):
// this value doesn't match
break;
endif;
endfor;
Cheers!
Mike
