This is a difficult question to answer. There are several things I'd need to know before I could begin to guess at what you're asking:

• What is the purpose of this section of the program?
• What does $accountID signify?
• What does $accountAD signify?
• What does $unverified signify?
• What kind of information is in the database?
• What do you mean by "if both variables are inside both the value and the key"?
• When you say "I'll try comparing... to the value of the key", what is "the key"?
• In your code snippet, what is the first conditional?

I'd love to give you an answer, but without more information either this question is unanswerable or my reading comprehension has suddenly taken a nosedive.
