I need to test for one of several values. Can I include these in a
single "if" statement

I tried using OR but it does not work. In the actual file I need to
check if a supplied user input meets one of about 170 possible code
combinations.

This does not work

if ($var == 1 OR 3 OR 7 OR 8 OR 9 OR "Table" OR "Chair"){
echo 'yes';
} else {
echo 'no';
}

A long winded way to do it and the only way I know how to use OR is...

if ($var == 1 || $var == 3 || $var == 7 || $var == 7 || $var == 9 ||
$var == "Table" || $var == "Chair")
....etc

But I would like to just list the values (and not the $var == for
every possible condition
