From: Operating system: N/A PHP version: 5.4.2 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Multi-CASE line for SWITCH
Description: ------------ --- >From manual page: http://www.php.net/control-structures.switch --- I did not see this capability on the manual page, so please forgive me if such an improvement is already in the works. I believe it would be a great help to upgrade the SWITCH -> CASE statements so they accept multiple values. This would allow us to write only one block of code-to-be-executed even for multiple values. Here's an example: switch ($color) { case: "blue", "green", "aqua" echo $color . " is a cool color." break; case: "red", "orange", "brown" echo $color . " is a warm color." } Also, we could eliminate the need for the BREAK statement by allowing code after the CASE statement to be enclosed in braces; the closing brace for that code would indicate an automatic BREAK. Hope this helps.
