Re: Function like "in" in Delphi?

You can do:

if (in_array($somechar, array("a", "b", "d")))

or

if (strpos(' abd', $somechar) > 0)

Still overly complex by comparison I think.

In Delphi:

if "x" in ['a'..'z']

quicker to type - prettier on the eye - no question about case
sensitivity needed, easier to understand on first glance ?
