Its all wrong. You shouldn't be using a switch statement anyway. A switch is
for evaluating a single variable.
alss, your code if ($a && $b == 124) is the equivelent of writing if ($a ==
true && $b == 124).
if ($a == $b)
{
// do struff
}
elseif ( ($a == 124) && ($b == 124) )
{
//do stuff
}
elseif ( ($a == 124) && ($b == 755) )
{
//do stuff
}
elseif ( ($a == 124) && ($a != $b) )
{
// do stuff
}
else {
// do default
}
a switch statement is used in this context;
$a = 1;
switch ($a)
{
case 1: $blah = $a; break;
case 2: $blah = 'something else'; break;
default: $blah = 'nothing';
}
you evaluate a single variable, otherwise, you are stuck with using is/else
statements
