note 46148 added to control-structures.switch

If you plan on using string values for cases in your 'switch' statements, you should consider casting your 'switch' value to a 'string': <?php $bug = 0; // $bug will be converted to string instead of each 'case' being // automatically converted to numeric data (w/ a value of zero). switch ((string)$bug) { case 'fly': echo 'flies buzz'; break; case 'mantis': echo 'mantes pray'; break; default: echo 'swat, splat, you are dead'; } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.switch.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+46148 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46148&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+46148&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
