RE: [PHP-WIN] Question concerning SWITCH and Comparisons

I wanna thank everyone for helping me. It seems I had it right was only conceptually making it more complex than it needed to be. BTW the code I wrote down I did as an example here, not one that I actually wrote and tested -- I was trying to conceptually design the switch statement before I began coding to make sure that what I was thinking was correct. After trying to think too indept and not coming up with my own definitive answer I decide to post my thoughts and ask suggestion here. I greatly appreciate the community and it's support.
