Using an array in an if statement....

[Link14716]

I want to know how to use several values, seperated by commas, in an if statement. This is probably very basic, but I need to know. Thanks

[mr e]

can you be more specific?

[Link14716]

Say a variable contains this:

5,6,7,10,56,63

I want to drop an if statement, checking each of them.

if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=="5" OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=="6" OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=="7" OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=="10" OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=="56" OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=="63") {

How would I make it so that all of that is combined into something like

if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==$variable) {

Where variable has all of those values mentioned above and actualy work?

[mr e]

well this is what i would do...

PHP Code:

$vars = "1,2,4,5,9";
$var = explode (",", $vars);

if (preg_match($var, $bbuserinfo[userid])) {
  do code here;
} else {
       more code here;
} 


i think that should work

Link, you should read more of my posts, i use the correct code very often:

PHP Code:

if(in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(5,6,7,10,56,63
)) {

}

That's what it is. I just didn't remember it becuase I haven't had any need for it until now.

Thanks.

i'll have to remember that

In forumdisplay.php, I have this code:

PHP Code:

if (in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array($privateusergroupable))) {
$getthreadids=$DB_site->query("
    SELECT
    ".iif($sortfield=="voteavg",$votequery,"")."
        thread.threadid
    FROM thread
    WHERE thread.forumid = $foruminfo[forumid]
        AND thread.sticky=0
    $datecut
    $limitothers
      ORDER BY sticky DESC, $sortfield $sqlsortorder
      LIMIT ".($sel_limitlower-1).",$perpage");
} else {
$getthreadids=$DB_site->query("
    SELECT
    ".iif($sortfield=="voteavg",$votequery,"")."
        thread.threadid
    FROM thread
    WHERE thread.forumid = $foruminfo[forumid]
        AND thread.sticky=0
        AND thread.visible=1
    $datecut
    $limitothers
      ORDER BY sticky DESC, $sortfield $sqlsortorder
      LIMIT ".($sel_limitlower-1).",$perpage");
} 


But this doesn't seem to be working - it doesn't show the invisible threads, even though usergroupid 6 is in the array. Any ideas?

Furthermore, if the variable $allowusercreateprivate is set to 1, I want it to get all of that user's threads even if visible!=1. Any ideas on that?

[mr e]

try this

PHP Code:

if (in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], $privateusergroupable)) {
$getthreadids=$DB_site->query("
    SELECT
    ".iif($sortfield=="voteavg",$votequery,"")."
        thread.threadid
    FROM thread
    WHERE thread.forumid = $foruminfo[forumid]
        AND thread.sticky=0
    $datecut
    $limitothers
      ORDER BY sticky DESC, $sortfield $sqlsortorder
      LIMIT ".($sel_limitlower-1).",$perpage");
} else {
$getthreadids=$DB_site->query("
    SELECT
    ".iif($sortfield=="voteavg",$votequery,"")."
        thread.threadid
    FROM thread
    WHERE thread.forumid = $foruminfo[forumid]
        AND thread.sticky=0
        AND thread.visible=1
        ".iif($allowusercreateprivate==1,"AND thread.visible=0","")."
    $datecut
    $limitothers
      ORDER BY sticky DESC, $sortfield $sqlsortorder
      LIMIT ".($sel_limitlower-1).",$perpage");
} 


not sure if this'll work though
