I am trying to put together a script and need to be able to list a number of countries and to then say, in the script, if the country is listed in the above do something...

The problem is that I do not want to have to specify each and every country in the statement. - I literally want to be able to just say that if something is listed in the above list it should be handled as follows...

I have already tried using an array, foreach statement, and preg_match... but there literally seems to be no way of doing this in PHP. Can anyone suggest a workaround or something (preferably not Javascript) that will work with PHP to enable the functionality that I need?

Your statement of the problem isn't clear in terms of why it is a problem. If you have all of the countries in an array and you get a country as input (from a form?) then there should be no problem comparing the two and determining if it is in the list or not. You could use a while loop to go through the array and compare your country from the input to every country in the array. Your statement "...there literally seems to be no way of doing this in PHP." makes no sense unless there is something important missing from the definition of the problem.

This, more precisely, is the problem:

Where the } else { section is I need to be able to make that an } elseif {, instead, for anything that is not included in the above list of countries.
