Is there a php equivalent to mySQL's IN?

Question

In writing select statements in mySQL, if I want to pull records where a column value equals one of a number of values, I can say something like this:

SELECT * F         


        

Answer 1

yes, It is in_array

You can check the value if it is in array.

$categories =array(1,5,7);
if (in_array($category, $categories))
{
  //do stuff
}

Answer 2

See the in_array() function.

E.g.:

$list = array(1, 5, 7);
if (in_array($category, $list)) {
  // do something
}

Or, more compactly:

if (in_array($category, array(1, 5, 7))) {
  // do something
}

Answer 3

if( in_array( $category, array( 1, 5, 7 ) ) ) {
