Match

/*
code to match for dating
these are BOOLEAN values

match_gender = the gender of the user itself
match_target_gender = the gender of the target user

if match_gender_male = true it means the user is a male
if match_target_gender_male = true it means the user is looking for a male

I need to match for example:

User is a female that likes male, target user is a male that likes female
User is a male that likes male, target user is a male that likes male

etc.

I think my current code has some bugs, it seems to match for example target female that likes male with male that likes male, can u help me?

If you consider refactoring how you're structuring the data like this:

  $user['match_target_relationship'] = "open" 
  $user['match_gender'] = "male" 
  $user['match_target_genders'] = ["male", "female"]

(assuming people can have multiple target genders)

Then you can simplify it:

/* 
    if we both want same relationship AND they want my gender AND I want their gender => ❤️ 
*/

if (
    $user['match_target_relationship'] == $targetUser['match_target_relationship'] &&
    in_array($user['match_gender'], $targetUser['match_target_genders']) &&
    in_array($targetUser['match_gender'], $user['match_target_genders'])
) {
    $isRomanticMatch = true;
}
