note 36922 added to control-structures.switch

in answer to Maktub The code you posted is suposed to work that way. why? #1 as if a variable containing a string REPRESENTS a number then the variable becomes an string so $var= "4"; is the same as $var='4'; and also the same as var = 4; in other languajes where programmers have to specify the type of the variable like C++ the 1st is a string the second a character and the last one a number aka integer. #2 so since what u have is one variable with the value +3 and one with the value 3 ... from math u know that they r the same so the code actually works. I hope this helps :) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.switch.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+36922 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+36922&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+36922&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
