PHP Conversion Table

Question

I have a PHP code which collect data from user´s input based on a range of given options (Banks).

*Piece of code:

$domElement = $domDocument->createElement('attribute', $posted_data['bank']);

Conversion table:

Thus, if user select CITIBANK, it should return "001" into my code and not CITIBNAK itself. This should be applied for all the others choices.

What would be the best way to do it?
By using array or "if statement conditions" or even other solution?

Use a dropdown menu with the code in the value attribute and the name in the text. — Barmar

Can't do it, cause the value is already set as "Bank" (this line code is not included in the post) — Wagner

Then I don't understand the question. Are you just asking how to create an associative array that translates the bank name to the code number? — Barmar

Use an associative array:

$bank_numbers = array('CITIBANK' => '001', 'BANK BOSTON' => '002', ...);
$banknum = $bank_numbers[$posted_data['bank']];
$domElement = $domDocument->createElement('attribute', $banknum);
