YMMV. > Elseif statements are not solely used to check *one* variable. So in some situations you can't even use a switch without implementing if/else statements inside the switch. BTW: EX1: if ( $value === '0' ) { echo 'If/ElseIf: The string value 0'."<br>"; } EX3: case $value === '' : { echo 'Switch/Case: The empty string'."<br>"; break; } Where is the basic difference in readability? Ah yes, the case is missing the brackets ..make it kinda hard to read for me. .-) Regards > Cheers, > > tedd > -- > ------- > http://sperling.com >  http://ancientstones.com >  http://earthstones.com > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > >
