Conditional statements are
used to perform different actions based on different conditions.
The PHP Switch Statement
Use
the switch statement to select one of many blocks of code to be executed.
Syntax
switch (n)
{
case label1:
code to be executed if n=label1;
break;
case label2:
code to be executed if n=label2;
break;
default:
code to be executed if n is different from both label1 and label2;
}
This
is how it works: First we have a single expression n (most often a variable), that is
evaluated once. The value of the expression is then compared with the values
for each case in the structure. If there is a match, the block of code
associated with that case is executed. Use break to prevent the code from running into
the next case automatically. The default statement is used if no match is
found.{
case label1:
code to be executed if n=label1;
break;
case label2:
code to be executed if n=label2;
break;
default:
code to be executed if n is different from both label1 and label2;
}
Example
<html>
<body>
<?php
$x=1;
switch ($x)
{
case 1:
echo "Number 1";
break;
case 2:
echo "Number 2";
break;
case 3:
echo "Number 3";
break;
default:
echo "No number between 1 and 3";
}
?>
</body>
</html>
<body>
<?php
$x=1;
switch ($x)
{
case 1:
echo "Number 1";
break;
case 2:
echo "Number 2";
break;
case 3:
echo "Number 3";
break;
default:
echo "No number between 1 and 3";
}
