PHP: How can I determine if a variable has a value that is between two distinct constant values?

Question

How can I determine using PHP code that, for example, I have a variable that has a value

• between 1 and 10, or
• between 20 and 40?

Answer 1

if (($value > 1 && $value < 10) || ($value > 20 && $value < 40)) 

Answer 2

Do you mean like:

$val1 = rand( 1, 10 ); // gives one integer between 1 and 10 $val2 = rand( 20, 40 ) ; // gives one integer between 20 and 40 

or perhaps:

$range = range( 1, 10 ); // gives array( 1, 2, ..., 10 ); $range2 = range( 20, 40 ); // gives array( 20, 21, ..., 40 ); 

or maybe:

$truth1 = $val >= 1 && $val <= 10; // true if 1 <= x <= 10 $truth2 = $val >= 20 && $val <= 40; // true if 20 <= x <= 40 

suppose you wanted:

$in_range = ( $val > 1 && $val < 10 ) || ( $val > 20 && $val < 40 ); // true if 1 < x < 10 OR 20 < x < 40
