if statement question...

[Anon]

If I want to compare a single variable against multiple variables, I typically do this:

if ( ($var==2) || ($var==3) || ($var==5) ) {

but on some longer statements, it gets kind of redundant. Is there a way to say:

if ($var == ( 2 || 3 || 5 )) {

No biggie, just curious.

Use a switch statement:

Mark,

I can think of a switch statement which would be easier to manage - but as far as redundancy is concerned...hmmm.

How about putting all your elements that need to be checked against in an array and doing if (in_array('$var',$array)) ?

-m.

Thanks -
I don't like using switch statements when there's only one action performed but the in_array function is just what I was looking for.

Much appreciated.
