switch statement
Overview
The switch statement is equivalent to a set of "if" instructions. It allows you to run different parts of code depending on the value to which it is equal.
Codes Example (with numerical values):
<?php
switch ($i) {
case 0:
echo "i is equal to 0";
break;
case 1:
echo "i is equal to 1";
break;
case 2:
echo "i is equal to 2";
break;
default:
echo "i is outside the limits";
}
?>
Codes Examples (with strings):
<?php
switch ($i) {
case "OK":
echo "The test is OK.";
break;
case "incompatible":
echo "The solution is incompatible.";
break;
case "KO":
echo "Incorrect test.";
break;
}
?>
