The function switch() in PHP is used to execute different codes based on a variable’s value. This is used in place of the IF/ELSE IF statements. A default value is optional and, if specified, is used when no other option is matched. You must include a break; after each case or the following cases will all return true.
[code lang=”php”]
[/code]
You can use this with forms and such to determine an action based on a submitted value as well! Here is an example using the switch() function in a form:
[code lang=”html”]
[/code]
Now on our PHP side of the script (submit.php) we will use the switch() function to evaluate the value.
[code lang=”php”]
[/code]
