Re: Control structure - easier way than repeating conditions in IF?

Why not just use a switch?... switch ($x) { case $a: case $b: case $c: case $d: //do whatever you need break; default: //catch any other values here break; } Neil BOOT wrote:

*********************************************** This Email Has Been Virus Swept *********************************************** Hello! Can anyone tell me if there is an easier/shorthand for:

if  (    ($x == $a) || ($x == $b) || ($x == $c) || ($x == $d) ....... ) {;}

I understand the logic of why the following does not work: if ($x == ($a || $b || $c || $d)) {;} Thanks!
