Validation

[mbrown]

	if ($building != "Hooverville" && $buildling != "Summitview" && $building != "WAMS" && $building != "WASHS" && $building != "Mowery" && $buildling != "Clayton Avenue" && $building != "Fairview Avenue")
				//Clayton Avenue; Summitview do not work atm. 
				{
					$errorMessage .= "The entered buliding name ($building), does not match one of buildings in our district, ";
					$errorMessage .= "They have to be one of the following: Hooverville, Summitview, WAMS, WASHS, Clayton Avenue or Fairview Avenue";
				}

 

When I edit the user and enter Summitview or Clayton Avenue it says it is invalid. But as you see if it correct.

 

Any help would be great!

 

Thanks

thats one looooooong if statement

why not simply use the in_array function and put the building names in a array.

If these buildings fetched from a database it would be even tiedier to use the id's

 

$buildings=array();
$buildings[]="building1";
$buildings[]="building2";
$buildings[]="building3";
if(!in_array($building,$buildings)){
  //error message stuff here
}
