Re: switch statement

Switch statements aren't made to work quite like that; PHP interprets each case like this: case ($something): /* some code */ break; ... is comparable to... if ( $QUERY_STRING == ($something) ) { /* some code */ } So if you run case <= 2000: you're always going to get an error. Case only evaluates equality. I'd say you ought to use an if statement anyway for clarity...
