Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.switch.php switch (X) { case Y: } is equivalent to if (X == Y) { thus your switch ($a) { case ($a <= 69): } is equivalent to if ($a == ($a <= 69)) { Try switch (true) instead.

Basically indicating than 0 is greater that 69. To evaluate a lower value you need to set it up to 1. $a = 0; switch ($a){ case ($a <= 69) : echo "Less than or equal 69"; break; case ($a > 69 && $a < 80) : echo "greater than 69" ; break; case ($a >= 80) : echo "greater or equal 80" ; break; } Test script: --------------- This code fails, 0 gets ignored and is catch by the 2nd case instead of the first one.
