In Array Logic

[lilmer]

Is there a better way to do this?

            $p = 3;
            $a = 3;
            $b = 3;

            $arr = [$p,$a,$b];


            if (in_array(0, $arr)) {
                return 'Pending';
            }

            if ((in_array(2, $arr)) && !in_array(0, $arr)) {
                return 'Incomplete';
            }

            if ((in_array(1, $arr)) && !in_array(0, $arr) && !in_array(1, $arr)) {
                return 'Approved';
            }

            if (in_array(3, $arr) && !in_array(0, $arr) && !in_array(1, $arr) && !in_array(2, $arr)) {
                return 'Declined';
            }

Have you considered using elseif? More information can be found here:

If that doesn't work, it might help if you provide more information on what you're trying to accomplish.

Yes Sir elseif, but on logic of getting `Pending`, `Incomplete` etc.. base on the array, is there other way?

[cyberRobot]

Just to clarify, do you want the script to output one result (Pending, Incomplete, etc.)? If so, I think in_array() and elseif should work fine.

 

But I'm sure there are other ways. It depends on what you are trying to do and what you are doing with the rest of the code.
