Re: [PHP] Control structure - easier way than repeating conditions in IF?

Why not just use a switch?... switch ($x) { case $a: case $b: case $c: case $d: //do whatever you need break; default: //catch any other values here break; } Neil BOOT wrote: **

RE: [PHP] Control structure - easier way than repeating conditions in IF?

You could do something like this: $valuesarr = array($a,$b,$c,$d); If (in_array($x,$valuesarr)) { # do something } Or I guess even: If (in_array($x,array($a,$b,$c,$d))) { # do something } I don't know if your method or this method have better performance but it's a little eas

For steps and sequences, I always use switches. Most commonly associated with the "action" variable, it would look like this: switch($action) { default: // what to show if no variable exists, or is set to a value // that is not acceptable below break; case "add_file":
