Question

Can’t believe I’m resorting to going on Stack Overflow to ask this rather than Google it, but is there a way to have multiple values in one if statement? For example, rather than using:

if ($var == 'value' || $var == 'othervalue') : 
    return true;
endif;

…you could do something along the lines of:

if ($var == ('value' || 'othervalue')) : 
    return true;
endif;

I know it’s probably a very basic yes/no answer, but it’s just something I’ve wanted to know but never really had the time to look up.

Answer 1

Something like this:

if (in_array('needle', array('value1', 'value2', 'needle'))){

}
