if statments

[hyster]

can i have more than 1 $var (not sure of the term for this) for the "IF" statment to compare?

 

works

if($choice == "YES"){

 

if($choice == "YES,NO,MAYBE"){

or

if($choice == "YES or NO or MAYBE"){

 

basicly $choice could = sevarel bits of data but the output at the end = yes or no depending on what $choice is.

ive seen a few examples of if statments nested but id rather avoid that if possable.

if($choice == "YES" || $choice == "NO" || $choice == "MAYBE") {
    // ...
}

 

Or if you have a lot of possible values you might want to use an array and in_array like this:

 

$arr = array('YES', 'NO', 'MAYBE');
if(in_array($choice, $arr)) {
    // ..
}
