Question

Programming in JavaScript and PHP, is there a shorter way to include several options in an if() condition?

I wonder if there is a way to write see a way to write for example

if( myvar==1 || myvar==5 || myvar==7 || myvar==22 )

something like

if( myvar==(1||5||7||22) )

Anyone knows a way to do this? Maybe regex?

Answer 1

For javascript you can add all on a array and you can check that myvar is present in array or not by .indexOf

if([1,5,7,22].indexOf(myvar)!=-1){
//do something
}
