Even in the view of how to program this into PHP. Why not a function, which will do all this? comp or mcomp or multicompare if ( comp($action,'||',ARRAY(modify,create,delete)) ) { Think this is a clean and lean syntax, which does not introduce too much new things. BTW: For myself I would wish a abreviation for ARRAY(). [()] or <()> for example. I also would prefer this, cause it makes clear, that this is not a function, but a language construct. Perhaps a general syntax for using a language (array-)construct? [(a,b,c)] ~ ARRAY(a,b,c) [each $bla] ~ each($bla) [list $a,$b,$c] ~ list($a,$b,$c) ... Example: $bla= [( a=>bla, b=>hugo, c=>hugobla )]; while ( [list $key,$val] = [each $bla] ) { } The example above will look then like if ( comp($action,'||',[(modify,create,delete)] ) ) { -- SSilk - Alexander Aulbach - Herbipolis/Frankonia Minoris - (0931)22032
