Can you use in_array to see if an array contains multiple values. Here is how I have been using it.

if (in_array("10527", $PayPalResult)) {
    $url_var = "card_number&card_type&";
}

Open in new window

how would I also check for the value 10510 in the same if statement?

If you look at the documentation, it demonstrates passing an array as the "needle". Just create a new array with the corresponding values being sought.

e.g.

$to_find = array("10527", "10510");

if (in_array($to_find, $PayPalResult)) {
    $url_var = "card_number&card_type&";
}

@ kaufmed I have tried your code and cannot make it work. I have looked at the documentation and agree that it should work according to the documentation. I can use either number (10527, 10510) by themselves and it works perfect. But in the array it does not. Any suggestions. I know it is not my other codes because I have stripped it down to just this and it still does not work.

This does work the way I asked the question. However I need it to work more like an "or". I need to know if 10527 or 10510 is in the array I cannot make it work for that.

This made it work like I needed it to.

if (in_array("10527", $PayPalResult) or in_array("10510", $PayPalResult)) {
    $url_var = "card_number&card_type&";
}
