In the given example it aways runs into the first case, comparing only the first four characters of both strings. Reproduce code: --------------- decide("Items"); decide("Item"); decide("some"); function decide ($parameter){ Switch($parameter){ case "Items": echo "These are all items \n"; break; case "Item": echo "A single Item \n"; break; default: echo "not listed"; }//end switch }//end function Expected result: ---------------- These are all items A single item not listed Actual result: -------------- These are all items These are all items not listed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44569&edit=1
