[SOLVED] fast noobish question

if (($a != 3) && ($a != 7) && ($a != 10) && ($a != 16) )

 

can this code be written shorter than this ? (i don't know what keyword to search ! sorry)

[thebadbad]

<?php
$array = array(3, 7, 10, 16);
if (!in_array($a, $array))
?>

 

or even shorter

 

<?php
if (!in_array($a, array(3, 7, 10, 16)))
?>
