switch problem, please help!!!

Hi!!

This is my code:
function namefunc($d){
switch ($d) {
case 4 || 5:
$n="Yes";
break;
default:
$n="No";

}
return $n;
}

$val=namefunc(3);

echo $val;

Why the result is that $val="yes"? What's worng?

Thanx!

There are two ways of doing what you're strying to with switch (a bad way and a good way)
Bad way (not really bad, just untidy)

switch(true) {
  case $d==4 || $d==5:
    $n='yes';
    break;
  default:
    $n='No';
    break;
}

Good way (utilising an overloaded case)

switch($d) {
    case 4: #Overloaded case, there's no break so it flows straight into cae 5:
    case 5:
        $n='Yes';
        break;
    default:
        $n='No';
}

ok, but what does it happen when $d=4 in your "Good way" mode? $n will be Yes or no?

Thanks for answering me!

if its 4 or 5, its YES otherwise its NO 😉

ok thanks!
I've understood the use of

break;
