[SOLVED] if statements

[The Little Guy]

instead of doing this:
[code]if($file == '.jpg'||$file == '.jpeg'||$file == '.gif'||$file == '.png'||$file == '.tiff'){[/code]

is there a way to do it something like this? This doesn't work, so I was just wondering if I could do something like this.
[code]if($file == ('.jpg'||'.jpeg'||'.gif'||'.png'||'.tiff')){[/code]

No, the second "if" is not correct syntax.

You could use a switch statement instead of the if:
[code]<?php
switch ($file) {
  case '.jpg':
  case '.jpeg':
  case '.gif':
  case '.png':
  case '.tiff':
//
//  your code here
//
  break;
}
?>[/code]

try this maybe ?
[code]
<?php
$array = array(".jpg",".jpeg",".gif",".png",".tiff");
if(in_array($file,$array))
?>
[/code]
