Re: PHP 6.0 Wishlist

Can be done already ... sorta. switch (true) {

        case ($str == 'abc'):
                echo "it was ABC!\n";
                break;
        case (preg_match('/^[0-9]+$/i', $str)):
                echo "it was a number!\n";
                break;
        default:
                echo "it was no number :-(\n";
                break;

I have another idea I came up with today: regular expression switches, but it would be difficult without adding to the syntax. switch ($str) { case "abc":

    echo "it was ABC!\n";
    break;

regcase "/^[0-9]+$/i":

    echo "it was a number!\n";
    break;

default:

    echo "it was no number :-(\n";
    break;

} Just an idea ;) Ron
