Re: Another problem with conditional statements

switch() does not work that way. Switch uses the value in the parentheses and selects a CASE based upon that value. Read the manual. You will have to use a series of if()-elseif()-else() ----- Original Message ----- From: "Beauford.2002" <beauford.2002@rogers.com> To: "PHP General" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2002 6:19 PM Subject: [PHP] Another problem with conditional statements Hi, This should be as simple as breathing, but not today. I have two variables $a and $b which I need to compare in a switch statement in several different ways, but no matter what I do it's wrong. This is what I have tried, can someone tell me how it should be. TIA switch (true): case ($a == $b): This one seems simple enough. do sum stuff; break; case ($a && $b == 124): This appears not to work. do sum stuff; break; case ($a == 124 && $b == 755): If $a is equal to 124 and $b is equal to 755 then it should be true..doesn't work. do sum stuff; break; case ($a == 124 && $b != 124): Nope, this doesn't appear to work either. do sum stuff; break; endswitch; -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
