Andi,
from the feedback it is obvious that the engine supported
defaults at places other than the bottom.
In all switch-supporting languages I know, it is possible to
do this:
switch ($expr) {
default:
/* handle everything EXCEPT "foo" and "bar" */
/* fall-through */
case 'foo':
case 'bar':
/* handle everything */
break;
}
Why should the support of this be discontinued?

Hello Everyone,
I just discovered a small thing in the switch() statement. The position of
the default: clause has to be at the end of the code:
$a = 1;
switch ($a) {
default :
case 0 :
$b = 1;
break;
case 1 :
$b = 2;
break;
}
echo $b; // should print 2 but it prints 1
$a = 1;
switch ($a) {
case 1 :
$b = 2;
break;
default :
case 0 :
$b = 1;
break;
}
echo $b; // prints 2 as expected.
This is tested on Linux with PHP5 CVS-HEAD
What changed ?
