how to switch multiple variable in a function

[npereira]

Hi all,

My question is, if you have a function function set ($What, $Value), how do you switch the $value is the value can be anything?

Here is my code:

    function Set ($What,$Value) {
        //this function sets the value of class variables for the user. All error
        //checking to ensure data integrity should be done in here. This function
        //should use a switch statement similar to the one in get. 
				switch ($What){
							 case 'ID':
							 			return $this->ID;
										break;
							 case 'BillName':
							 			return $this->BillName;
										break;
							 case 'DueWhen':
							 			return $this->DueWhen;
										break;
							 case 'Amount':
							 			return $this->Amount;
										break;
							 case 'error':
							 			return $this->error;
										break;
								default:
										$this->error = "Invalid variable ($What) passed to Set.<br>\n";
										return 0;

			} //end switch $What

			switch ($Value){
						 case $Value:
						 			return $this->$Value;
									break;
							default:
									$this->error = "Invalid variable ($Value) passed to Set.<br>\n";
									break;
			} //end switch $Value
			return 0;
} //end Set

is the switch for $Value correct?

it will never be reached because the first switch defaults to return something stopping the function
