Shorten Long IF Statements

[partypete]

Hello,

Is there a way to shorten long IF statements like below:

if($searchPhoto != "I" and $searchPhoto != "Y" and $searchPhoto != "N"){
$do_searchPhoto = "";
}

Thank you kindly!

You can use switch(). It isnt necessarily shorter but probably more effective

switch($var)
{
   case 'Value':
    Do this
    break;

case 'Value2':
Do this instead
break;


default:
if none of the above do this
break;
}

not really much shorter but...

$array = array('I', 'Y', 'N');
if (!in_array($searchPhoto, $array)) {$do_searchPhoto = '';}
