Running: PHP4.03pl1 - Linux - Apache I'm not sure if this is how the switch is suppose to work? But when you are evaluating a (TRUE or FALSE) for the switch while doing a long series of checks (so you have no "break;" statements) you may run into the problem that once the switch has hit the value you have set, it will not evaluate the following case statements correctly. so... switch (TRUE) { case not TRUE: // not TRUE case not TRUE: // not TRUE case TRUE: // TRUE -- Do Statement case not TRUE: // TRUE -- Do Statement case not TRUE: // TRUE -- Do Statement ... } What I ended up doing is splitting my switch condition in logical areas to reset when I knew that there could be a TRUE trigger. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.switch.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+27566 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+27566 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+27566
