[RESOLVED] Whats the format for: If $var =="ZA" or "GB"

[gretsch]

Is there a short/better (one line) format for the conditional statement:

If ($country =="ZA") OR ($country =="GB")

I tried the above, and replaced the "OR" with "||" but get an error on both.

I could write:

if ($country =="ZA") {
   --php code lines here--
   elseif  ($country =="GB") 
   --php code lines here--
else
die ();

but a one line statement would be easier to read.

Thanks

That depends; if you have more than two values, it becomes much easier to do something like:

$vals = array("ZA", "GB", "US", "etc");

if(in_array($country, $vals))) {
    // do this - country is in valid list of responses
} else {
    // not valid
}

EDIT: Misread your question; for two elements you can combine the two conditionals:

if($country == "ZA" || $country == "GB") {
