Switches with multiple cases...?

[Anon]

I have a case switch with many results that are identical:

switch ($action) {
case "this result":
print "do this";
break;
case "another result":
print "do this";
break;
case "that result":
print "do this";
break;
case "last result":
print "do this";
break;
}

Is there any way of combining them all into one case other than using default?

Cheers,

Tony.

you can use this:
if (($this_result) || ($that_result) || ($another_result) || ($last_result))
{ do_this(); }

Thanks PORNST4R - i guess that is the best option if switch doesn't support multiple values per action... 🙂 Errr... Or what ever I mean.

Cheers.

P's advice is correct, but if you wanted to still use switch, you could do this:

switch ($action) {
case "this result":
case "another result":
case "that result":
case "last result":
print "do this";
break;
}

not as evident as the if example, but....
