When multiple variables match, remove from array PHP

Question

So I currently have this, so if $iDontWant matches something in the array from $data->Name, it removes the whole line. Using the same method how could I do the same but with multiple $iDontWant? So say another $iDontWant2, and this also remove from the foreach? Every way I have tried seems to break things!

$iDontWant="bla"

foreach($datas as $data) {
    if($data->Name == $iDontWant) continue; 
    echo '<div class="checkmark-33"><div class="fa-stack fa-1x checkmark-icon"><i class="fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x icon-background"></i><i class="fa fa-check fa-stack-1x icon-text"></i></div><div class="checkmark-inner">'. $data->Name .'</div></div>'; 
}; ?>

Any help would be great, thanks!

Declare $iDontWant as an array and use in_array():

$iDontWant = ["one", "two"];

foreach($datas as $data) {
    if(in_array($data->Name, $iDontWant)) {
        continue;
    }
}

As an alternative to only loop the ones you want, just take the difference and loop that:

$iDontWant = ["one", "two"];

foreach(array_diff($datas, $iDontWant) as $data) {
    echo '<div class="checkmark-33"><div class="fa-stack fa-1x checkmark-icon"><i class="fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x icon-background"></i><i class="fa fa-check fa-stack-1x icon-text"></i></div><div class="checkmark-inner">'. $data->Name .'</div></div>'; 
}
