I thought you could do this in php

if ($state == "WA" ||"MT" || "OR" || ID" ||"WY" || "CA" ||  "NV" ||  "UT" || "CO" ||  "AZ" ||  "NM"){
//west coast bitches!!!
}else{
//east coast bitch!!!
}

if ($state == "WA" || $state == "MT" || $state == "OR" || $state == "ID" || $state == "WY" || $state == "CA" || $state == "NV" || $state == "UT" || $state == "CO" || $state == "AZ" || $state == "NM"){

Well, you could use an array or a regular expression.

Use an array, please.

Out of curiousity, I googled the logical phrase "php if multiple conditions".

clearly the best thing to do in this situation would be to setup an Oracle database to store a table of states, along with their full name, the date they were accepted into the union, and all possible zip codes within the state. Have a flag for those on the left coast, and those on the right. Then open up a pooled database connection, issue a query using the SQL "IN" syntax, and evaluate the results.
