Array solution

[acmumph]

So I'm trying to get a variable assigned by stepping through an array using the following code.

$american=array("ABC","Beefmaster","Braford","Brahman","Brahmousin","Brangus","OARB","Red Brahman","Red Brangus","Santa Gertrudis","Simbrah","Star5");
$british=array("Angus","Hereford","Polled Hereford","Lowline Angus","Red Angus","Shorthorn");
$exotic=array("AOB","Braunvieh","Charolais","Chi","Limousin","Maine Anjou","ORB","Simmental");


if ($species==$american[]) {
$division="American";
} else
if ($species==$british[]){
$division="British";
} else
if ($species==$exotic[]){
$division="Exotic";
} 

 

Appreciate your time

use in_array

 

$american=array("ABC","Beefmaster","Braford","Brahman","Brahmousin","Brangus","OARB","Red Brahman","Red Brangus","Santa Gertrudis","Simbrah","Star5");
$british=array("Angus","Hereford","Polled Hereford","Lowline Angus","Red Angus","Shorthorn");
$exotic=array("AOB","Braunvieh","Charolais","Chi","Limousin","Maine Anjou","ORB","Simmental");


if (in_array($species,$american)) {
$division="American";
} else
if (in_array($species,$british)) {
$division="British";
} else
if (in_array($species,$exotic)) {
$division="Exotic";
}
