It's not necessary to break out of any case of a switch statement in PHP, but if you want only one case to be executed, you have do break out of it (even out of the default case). Consider this: <?php $a = 'Apple'; switch ($a) { default: echo '$a is not an orange<br>'; case 'Orange': echo '$a is an orange'; } ?> This prints (in PHP 5.0.4 on MS-Windows): $a is not an orange $a is an orange Note that the PHP documentation does not state the default part must be the last case statement.
