I've read 2 comments (http://ua2.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.switch.php#93342, http://ua2.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.switch.php#88643) with the code like: <?php switch ($foo) { case ($foo<1): echo 'a'; break; case ($foo>1): echo 'b'; break; case ($foo>10): echo 'c'; break; } ?> But it is wrong. It prints 'b' because code above is equivalent <?php if ($foo == ($foo<1)) {echo 'a';} if ($foo == ($foo>1)) {echo 'b';} if ($foo == ($foo>10)) {echo 'c';} ?> If you realy dislike elseif, use this style <?php switch (TRUE) { case ($foo<1): break; case ($foo>1): break; case ($foo>10): break; } ?> ---- Server IP: 89.251.21.32 Probable Submitter: 217.12.212.111 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.switch.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/104212 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104212/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104212/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104212/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104212/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104212/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104212/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104212 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/104212 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
