Question

how can i arrange an array data in phpp so that it can match 2 or more values?

EX:
users.php

$USERS["username1"] = "password1";

direct.php

include("users.php");

$user = $_POST['user'];
$pass = $_POST['pass'];

if ($USERS[$user]==$pass) { 

echo "welcome";
}

so in the $USERS array the value will satify the if statement if the user inputs

“username1” and “passsword1”

what i want to do is allow the “username1” to be paired with other values

 $USERS["username1"] = "password1" , "password3" , "password109";

even if the user inputs any of these 3

"password1" , "password3" , "password109"

it will satisfy the if statement is there anyway to do this?

I guess what you need is in_array()

$users['username1'] = array('password1','password3','azeadnfksfn');

if (in_array($password,$users[$user])) {
    echo 'Welcome';
}
