how to check two vars against two others

mrsocks

ok, this is going to be a bit more elaborate than expected.

i want to preform an action when two variables match a set that i have specified.

ex:

i want to print the number 4 when id=2 AND class=NEW.

i would like to be able to specifiy a list of pairs to be able to assign.

now i am thinking that i need to speciify a key/value combo like: array=(OLD => 1, NEW=>2, CURRENT=>3);

i know two in_array() combos wont work because if the id=1 and class=CURRENT, i would know that the statement would return a true even though i need to make sure the key/value is the set to check against.

i hope this makes sense.
thanks

not sure if i understood correctly, is the id the same as the number in the array

if thats so if id=2 and class=NEW, then it should return true right and
if id=2 and class=CURRENT it should be false

is that what ure trying to do

you are completely correct.

<?php
$vars = array("OLD" => "1", "NEW"=>"2", "CURRENT"=>"3"); 
$flag = 0;
foreach($vars as $key=>$value){
		if(($class == $key)&&($id == $value)){
			$flag = 1;
		}
}
if($flag==1){
	echo "matches";
}else{
	echo "doesn't match";
}
?>

works perfectly.
Thank you very much.

i would have thought that is was going to be more complex than that. (but i guess that is the benefit of expereince.)

thanks
take care
