如果可读性有条件，我怎么能整理多个？

Question

How can I tidy multiple if condition for readability?

For instance,

if( $key != 'pg_id' && $key != 'pg_tag' && $key != 'pg_user'  )

This confuses me when the items in that condition grow longer.

It was used in this kind of situation below - foreach(),

$editable_fields = array(
    'pg_id',
    'pg_url',
    'pg_title',
    'pg_subtitle',
    'pg_description',
    'pg_introduction',
    'pg_content_1',
    'pg_content_2',
    'pg_content_3',
    'pg_content_4',
    'pg_backdate',
    'pg_highlight',
    'pg_hide',
    'pg_cat_id',
    'ps_cat_id',
    'parent_id',
    'tmp_id',
    'usr_id'
);

$sql_pattern = array();

foreach( $editable_fields as $key )
{
    if( $key != 'pg_id' && $key != 'pg_tag' && $key != 'pg_user'  ) $sql_pattern[] = "$key = ?";
}

I was thinking using switch but I think I was wrong!

You could use in_array:

if (!in_array($key, array('pg_id', 'pg_tag', 'pg_user'))
