title: Is there a php equivalent to mySQL's IN?
body: <p>In writing select statements in mySQL, if I want to pull records where a column value equals one of a number of values, I can say something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE myColumn IN(1,5,7)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is the only way to accomplish something similar in PHP with OR?</p>
  
  <pre><code>if($category == 1 || $category == 5 || $category == 7) {
     // do something
  }
  </code></pre>
