in_array problem

[mraza]

hi i wants to skip few categories from xml feed but have problem, here is my code which is working:

foreach ($xml->channel->item as $item) { 

                foreach ($item->children() as $child) {
                    if ($child->getName() == 'category') {
                        $categories[] = (string) $child;
                    }
                }
if((in_array("one",$categorie) || in_array("two",$categorie)  in_array("three",$categorie))  {
continue;
}
// other code here
}

 

and here is what i wants to separate categories in $skipcats but its not working.

$skipcats = array("one","two","three");
foreach ($xml->channel->item as $item) { 

                foreach ($item->children() as $child) {
                    if ($child->getName() == 'category') {
                        $categories[] = (string) $child;
                    }
                }
foreach ($skipcats as $skip) {
if(in_array($skip,$categorie)) {
continue;
}
}
// other code here
}

please what i am missing.

thanks for any guidance .

I guess your second code is not working cos you have added a foreach cycle, so the "continue;" function ends the iteration of new small foreach, and not the big one.

Try with

continue 2;

You have a typo. You named the array $categories, but in the in_array() function you are using $categories.

 

But, if you plan to skip those values anyway, why add them to the array to begin with. Add your logic to the foreach loop so it doesn't add them to $categories to begin with.

sorry sir that was a typo when i write here, in my code its categories. this worked continue 2;

 

@mjdamato oh yeah never thought of that, thank you very much you are always big help.
