Question

I may be doing it wrong but take a peek. If I hardcode the logic, it works but not if I try to use it as a variable.

if($range <= 50) {
    $operator = "<=";
} else {
    $operator = ">=";
}

foreach($cursor as $s) {
    $data = round($this->distance($zip_lat, $zip_lon, $s["lat"],$s["lon"]), 2);

    if ($data .$operator. $range) {
        $zipcodes[] = "$s[zipcode]";   
    }
}               

I mean, I could add the if/else inside the foreach but wasn’t sure if it adds any “overhead.”

try:

if ($range <= 50 ? $data <= $range : $data >= $range) {

}

or use an eval()
