Note Submitter: php at jast dot heapsort dot de ---- In response to mark at softmedia4u dot com: This example is using bare words instead of strings, so while a is converted into the string 'a', b-a is converted into 'b'-'a' at which point the strings are converted to numbers (0) and the whole thing ends up reading 'case 0'. If you compare a string with 0 that doesn't start with digits, you always get a match, so this is, in fact, not behaviour equivalent to 'default'. You probably want to use case 'b-a'.
