It's obvious, but might still bear explicit mention that you can conditionally execute the BREAK statement in order to allow a CASE to fall through to the next CASE. e.g.:-> Here, CASE 1 will fall through and the DEFAULT CASE statements will also be executed unless $somevar is true. <?php switch ($i) { case 0: print "i equals 0"; break; case 1: print "i equals 1"; if ($somevar) { break; } default; echo 'Some Default Statements'; break; } ?> Cheers, Ben Nardone --was-- It's obvious, but might still bear explicit mention that you can conditionally execute the BREAK statement in order to allow a CASE to fall through to the next CASE. e.g.:-> Here, CASE 1 will fall through and the DEFAULT CASE statements will also be executed unless $somevar is true. switch ($i) { case 0: print "i equals 0"; break; case 1: print "i equals 1"; if ($somevar) { break; } default; echo 'Some Default Statements'; break; } Cheers, Ben Nardone http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.switch.php
