Smarty

hi!

as far as i know, there's no "in" operator like "if $val in ('dog','cat','bla')".

if not, why not and could it be added? should be relatively simple i think, just map it to in_array or so.

Good news: like all PHP functions, in_array can be used as a modifier so long as you aren't using secure mode. The only problem: you need to have your array predefined or you need a method to create an array from within the template if that is how you intend to do it.

{$needle|in_array:$haystack}

or {if in_array($needle, $haystack)} ... {/if}

**smacks head**

yes, that's a way better example since it shows its more likely usage

hey,

thanks so far. these methods i knew already, but i think it should be made simpler by adding an "in" operator, don't you think? wouldn't it be cool to have such a wonderful operator in smarty which also php misses? *G*
