switch statement [Resolved]

[ober0330]

can you have multiple values in one case?

case "1,2,3":

try

$chk = "blahblah";
$var = "ooga";
$var2 = "booga";
switch($chk){
  case ($var || $var2):
    echo "wiggy waggy woo";
    break;
  default:
    echo "default";
} 

[phpman]

you can't do that

working a bit around with it I found out that it is not possible to
compare the variable with two different values in one step like this
(system running a w2k server, apache2.0.43 & php430):
switch ($myvar) {
case ("foo" || "bar"): //do something
break;
case ("other"): //do another thing
break;
default:
}
rather use:
switch ($myvar) {
case ("foo"):
case ("bar"): //do something
break;
case ("other"): //do another thing
break;
default:
}

Yeah, I actually used that instead. Falling through without breaks seems like the best method.
