Checking Against Arrays

[linusx007]

Hello,
This is my plan:
I have some numbers(1-48). I would like to check if something is equal to anything thru that range.(i.e. if($this == [1-48])) I dont even know where to begin with this, besides doing 48 if statements or a switch statment. I was wondering if the was a regex that could do this.
Thanks.
Bill

perhaps a for loop?

for(i=0; i<48; i++)
if ($this = $arrayname)
{
do something great
break;//if you don't need to check anymore
}
}//end the for loop

...you could use the function
bool in_array (mixed needle, array haystack, bool strict)

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, this should work...

if($this > 1 and $this < 48)
{
//do something
}
else
{
//number out of range
}
