I've googled, and found some confusing answers. I've tried searching the history of the news group, and only found info on switch or elseif seperately. :( Strictly from a performance stand point, not preference or anything else, is there a benefit of one over the other? for($i=0;$i<3;$i++){
    switch($i){
        case 0:
            header pg1 code
        break;
        case 1:
            header pg2 code
        break;
        case 3:
            header pg3 code
        break;
    };
}; or would that be better served using an if...elseif structure? Frank
elseif!!! Arrgggg !!! I guess that today is my day to get myself in all sorts of trouble. I have never used elseif -- and can't stand it, tedd's rules. if ($options > 2) { echo('use switch'); { else { echo('use if'); } Reason? It makes sense to me.
