Hey, so it's been pointed out to me that this is possible already.
switch($var)
{
case ($var <=9):
{
do_this();
break;
}
case ($var >= 10) && ($var <= 100) :
{
do_something();
break;
}
}
Basically, the cases just need to evaluate to true or false in order for
the code within to run, so you can do comparisons and ranges; you just
need to form them correctly.

I too think it would be very convenient to allow a range as a case,
e.g.
switch( $somevar )
{
case 1..5 :
// code & break
case 6..23 :
// code & break
// etc
}
(I also think it'd be very convenient if bugzilla didn't claim
"incorrect captcha" when the problem is "i can't set a cookie")

Description:
------------
why not some behavior like this?
...
switch($var)
{
case <= 9:
{
echo "less than ten";
break;
}
case 10:
{
echo "ten exactly";
break;
}
case >10 <> <15:
{
echo a range of values? why not?";
break;
}
case >= 15:
{
echo greater than or equal to fifteen";
break;
}
default:
{
echo what am I not thinking of here?
break;
}
}
