in thread Regarding the conditional part of eslif (or if) statement

I will write with several elsif statements one for each value of the array

Surely you're missing something here, why not run a foreach on the array and in that test the values, or try another thing? What you describe sounds so very un-programmatic, that I suggest reviewing the logic flow of the program at that point, and see how it could be generalised into a loop.
