[Resolved] multiable ifs turned in to one???

RefreshXXL

I did a couple of searchs but didn't find anything probably because I don't know what it is called.

With the code I have below I want it where I could just make one if since they all output the same code.
So many something like

if($ext == mpeg or mpg or avi) <-- I know that doesn't work but is there a way to do what i want

PHP:

if($ext == mpeg) {
echo "<embed src=\"$dir/$file.$ext\" autostart=\"true\"></embed>";
echo "<br>\n";
echo "<a href=\"java script:history.back()\">Back</a>\n";
exit;
}
elseif($ext == mpg) {
echo "<embed src=\"$dir/$file.$ext\" autostart=\"true\"></embed>";
echo "<br>\n";
echo "<a href=\"java script:history.back()\">Back</a>\n";
exit;
}
elseif($ext == avi) {
echo "<embed src=\"$dir/$file.$ext\" autostart=\"true\"></embed>";
echo "<br>\n";
echo "<a href=\"java script:history.back()\">Back</a>\n";
exit;
}

benkillin

if(a != b && c != d){
//if a does not equal b and c does not equal d then...
} elseif(a = a || a != b){
//if a equals a or a does not equal b then...
}

in your case, do this:

if($ext == mpeg || mpg || avi){

That didn't work because know it takes nay file extension and makes it a movie.

You can make the if statements even smaller.. if you look at my last example...
