note 125150 added to control-structures.switch

You can use multiple break statements within a case. In this contrived example, I get out of the first case of the switch statement once a condition is met. Just remember to include another break statement as a failsafe. <?php $disk = '3.5 inch floppy'; switch ($disk) { case '5 inch floppy': case '3.5 inch floppy': case 'usb': case 'cd': echo "Reading disk..."; if (strpos($disk, 'floppy') !== false) { echo "It bent."; break; } echo "It worked."; break; // failsafe default: echo "Don't stick cupcakes in here."; break; } ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 103.51.166.36 (proxied: 107.184.130.94) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.switch.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/125150 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125150/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125150/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125150/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125150/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125150/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125150/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125150 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/125150 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
