[PHP] Control structure - easier way than repeating conditions in IF?
Hello!
Can anyone tell me if there is an easier/shorthand for:
if (($x == $a) || ($x == $b) || ($x == $c) || ($x == $d) ... ) {;}
I understand the logic of why the following does not work:
if ($x == ($a || $b || $c || $d)) {;}
Thanks!

RE: [PHP] Control structure - easier way than repeating conditions in IF?
You could do something like this:
$valuesarr = array($a,$b,$c,$d);
If (in_array($x,$valuesarr)) {
# do something
}
Or I guess even:
If (in_array($x,array($a,$b,$c,$d))) {
# do something
}
I don't know if your method or this method have better performance but
it's a little easier to read I guess.

Why not just use a switch?...
switch ($x) {
case $a:
case $b:
case $c:
case $d:
//do whatever you need
break;
default:
//catch any other values here
break;
}
