[Resolved] IN() statement for php?

[dreams4000]

Hey all,

Does anyone know if PHP has a statement that is similar to MySqls IN() statement?

I want to do something like:

$somevar = '2,4,5,6,9';
if ('2' IN($somevar)) {

//Do something..
}

Any ideas? Thanks!

I came up with this that kinda works, are there any other more elegant solutions?

$somevar = array('2','4','5','6','9');
$has_value = in_array('6', $somevar);

if ($has_value == TRUE) {

//Do something..	
}

That's about as elegant as it gets. If you mean "less lines = more elegant", then you could just go with "if (in_array('6', $somevar)) {". (Which is the way I'd do it.)

I agree with the above. If it had to be a csv string this is as simple as you could get

function in_csv($needle, $haystack)
{
	return in_array($needle, explode(',', $haystack));
}

Good example, D. Now that's elegance.
