Question

I have this for a var_dump($productId):

string(1) "9"

string(2) "11"

string(2) "12"

string(2) "17"

string(2) "18"

Now, i want for example the function_x to not execute for id 18 and 17, so i want to make something like this:

$test=array('18','17');
if(!in_array($test,array($productId))){}

but seems not to be working, the idea is if i want to make for just 18 then:

$test=18;
if($test != $productId){}

and this is working, but how to do it for more than one number/ID ?

Thanks in advance!

I think the other answers are assuming your $productId is an array. I’m guessing you are running var_dump() inside a foreach or something.

if(17 != $productId && 18 != $productId)
{
    // If $productId is not 17 and is not 18.
}

// Alternatively, if you want to add more IDs to ignore, you could use in_array.
$ignore = array(17,18,19,20);

if(false == in_array($productId,$ignore))
{
    // If $productId is not in the ignore array.
}
