Using variables in an array

[jamesdi]

Hi,
I am trying to use to use variables in an array but cant make an if statement work with it.

$nrcexempt = array($exempt1,$exempt2,$exempt3,$exempt4,$exempt5,$exempt6,$exempt7,$exempt8,$exempt9,$exempt10,Admin,NR);

if (strpos($GROUPS,"$nrcexempt")){

$nrcon ="off";
}
else {
$nrcon="on";
}

Any help would be much appreciated.

What are you trying to do? At the moment, all you're doing is looking to see if $GROUPS (which would be treated as a string) contains the string "Array" (which is what you get when you turn an array into a string).

Thanks for your reply.
Basically what I want to do is if $Groups contains any of the values from the array $nrcexempt complete the if statement.

What is groups? A string, an array, an integer, a float, an object, etc? if its a string, then you might be wanting: [man]in_array/man

 if( in_array($GROUPS,$nrcexempt) ) {

What is groups?

It is a string containing text values separated by ;
Normally if I want to check for one matching value ie.Admin I use

if (strpos($GROUPS,"Admin")){ 

But I want to check if it contains any of the values from $nrcexempt where only one matching value is needed.

$flag = FALSE;
foreach( $array as $item ) {
   if( strpos($GROUPS,$item) !== FALSE ) {
      $flag = TRUE;
   }
}

Something like that should get you going in the right direction if I understand correctly.

rather than using if you have to use the loop so that i can test it with the $Group with the each value of array $nrcexempt
