I want to check if a variable equals many things...

[chantown]

Instead of doing this:

 

if($action=="1" || $action=="2" || $action=="6" || $action=="99")..

 

Can I do a shortcut?

 

if($action==[2,6,3]))

 

something like this?

You could whitelist the values, and check $action with with in_array.

 

$action = 3;
$valid = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7);
if(in_array($action, $valid))
{
   echo "true";
}
