Switch Question

I'm trying to make a switch statement that looks for more than one possible value. Something similar to: switch($color) { case "black" || "1": return ImageColorAllocate($image,0,0,0); break; case "white" || "2": return ImageColorAllocate($image,255,255,255); break; case "gray" || "3": return ImageColorAllocate($image,200,200,200); break; } This is not working however, since all my colors are now black (it worked before I add the number portion of the case statement. First off, is this even possible to do, or do I need to make a seperate case for the numbers. If it is possible, how do I make it work? Robbert van Andel
