Array help.

[Michdd]

If I use an array to store different names, then I use an if statement to see if the name is something other than in the array, would I do it like this:

 

 

$input = $_POST['input'];
$name[1] = "somename";
$name[2] = "somename2";

if($input != $name){
}

 

Would that work?

<?php
if(in_array($name[] != $input)) {
    echo 'foo';
}
?>

 

i think this is it as you would have to check whats in the array would u not

No, you need to check if the name is contained within the array. The correct syntax is

 

if (in_array($input, $name))

ahh sorry yes my mistake should be something like

 

<?php
$name = array('name1','name2','name3');
if(in_array($_POST['input'],$name)) {
    echo 'foo';
}
?>
