I wanted to see if anyone has an easier way to do this. The end result
is this: I need to compare 7 different text strings(which are in an
array). They should all be the same, if they are not the same, a message
should be outputted saying they weren't.

How would one do this outside of using a huge if/then statement?

---------------------------

Two approaches come to mind off the top of my head:

  $values = array_count_values($array);

  if (count($values)>1):
    // there's more than one unique value in the array
  endif;

or...

  $value = $array[0];
  for ($i=1; $i<7; ++$i):
    if ($array[$i]!= $value):
      // this value doesn't match
      break;
    endif;
  endfor;

Cheers!

Mike
