How to use OR operator in strings with PHP

Question

Brand new to php and I want to say "if dc is equal to ABC or DEF. In php, is it: if ($dc == "ABC"|"DEF")

It's more like _if dc is equal to ABC or dc is equal to DEF_ — Spoody, Jul 30 '18 at 18:38
if ($dc == "ABC" || $dc == "DEF"), but you also may use in_array as suggested below. You could search for it, you could find so many good options. — MyLibary, Jul 30 '18 at 18:50

You can use in_array.

if(in_array($dc, ["ABC", "DEF"])){
    // One of them is  in $dc
}

In_array returns true if the needle ($dc) is found in the array.
