Like so: if($var IN('compare1', 'compare2', 'compare3')){ ...blah... } Here's my (somewhat limited) php version of it... function in($compare, $options, $seperator = ','){ $opt_array = explode($seperator, $options); for($i=0; $i<count($opt_array); $i++) if($compare == $opt_array[$i]) return TRUE; return FALSE; } Take care! -- Richard Heyes http://www.heyes-computing.net/scripts/
