Note Submitter: sanate at seznam dot cz ---- <?php switch ($i) { case 'a': echo "i equals a"; break; case 'b': echo "i equals b"; break; case 'c': echo "i equals c"; break; default: echo "i is not equal to a, b or c"; } ?> Yes, it is true. Be careful if the compared variable === true! Because: IT WILL "convert" any unempty string to true AND it will go directly to the FIST case and print "i equals a" in that example !!! How non-sens-making behavior! At first I thought it is a bug. :) If I could I would definitely change this nonsense-behavior in case of true! (for example by converting it internally to number 1). But I am not requesting it - I know it is not possible here... Just wanted to say: People, Be extra careful not to get true dropped into a switch! :-)
