If Or logic problem...

[jimoblak]

I would like to do an action if a variable exists in several different values - - without a lot of code.

A user on my site will be directed to a different action depending on what country they are from. Here is a sample of my present code:

if (($country=="AU&quot OR ($country=="CL&quot OR ($country=="NZ&quot OR ($country=="NI&quot OR ($country=="PA&quot OR ($country=="PH&quot OR ($country=="TT&quot OR ($country=="UM&quot OR ($country=="VI&quot OR ($country=="BR&quot OR ($country=="AR&quot OR ($country=="BS&quot OR ($country=="BB&quot OR ($country=="BM&quot) {
//then do this
}

Is there a simpler way of doing this without repeating so much code? I have a set of about 20 countries for each action (and there are several different action sets). To simplify the example above, I have not included all the countries I intend to use. The list will be much larger.

Thank you!

use this

$array=array("AU","CL",...);
if (in_array($country,$array)){
// then do this:
}

i think it's this the order of the params in the in_array function, but if it is not, just switch the order of them. Anikin

Thanks for the help, xutopia & anikin!

I tried the array earlier but had a stupid syntax error that threw me way off and led me to Tek-Tips screaming for help.
