New Comment:
Maybe, but C-derived languages do not and there is tons of code out there that
specifically relies on this feature. I have written a bunch myself. This will
never change.

Actually C# compiler checks such anomalies.
Control cannot fall through from one case label ('case <title>:') to another.
Check out an example http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6696692/control-cannot-
fall-through-from-one-case-label

No way this is going to happen. PHP's switch allows fall-through and
intentionally so. Same way it works in nearly any other language implementing
switch.

Description:
------------
When we have switch case statements and when case statements are skipped of
break
statement inadvertantly the page/control would fail. Similar to C#, php
compiler
should throw an error 'Control can not fall through case constructs'.
Test script:
---------------
switch ($t)
{
case "t":
echo "test";
case "e":
echo "e test";
}
Expected result:
----------------
It should fail with parse error and the user correction should be
switch ($t)
{
case "t":
echo "test";
break;
case "e":
echo "e test";
break;
}
Actual result:
--------------
It should fail with parse error and the user correction should be
switch ($t)
{
case "t":
echo "test";
break;
case "e":
echo "e test";
break;
}
