[Resolved] [Resolved] PHP replacement for Select Case

sebjlan

In ASP there is a function Select Case.
I was wondering if there is a similar function in PHP?
I know you can you use if, else if and so on, but I do not intend to do that.

Below is an example of my ASP script which I would like to rewrite using PHP:

<%

Dim nav = Request.QueryString("site")

Select Case nav

Case "", "index", "main"
Server.Execute(front.asp)

Case "about"
Server.Execute(about.asp)

Case Else
Server.Execute(404.asp)

End Select

%>

Thank you in advance

<?php

$somevar = "word1";

// switch - case - default
switch ( $somevar ) {

case "word1" :
    echo "number 1";

case "word2" :
    echo "number 2";

default :
    // no match above
    echo "not in any case";

}

?>

Correction to the above

<?php
$somevar = "word2";

// switch - case - default
switch ( $somevar ) {

case "word1" :
	echo "number 1";
	break;
case "word2" :
	echo "number 2";
	break;
default :
// no match above
	echo "not in any case";
}
?>

break is needed to stop the command flow

This doesn't display my IP when add ?nav=index to the URL.
What is wrong?

<?php

$nav = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

switch ($nav) {

case "index" :
  echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
  break;  

default:
  echo "Hello";
}

?>

EDIT
I know what's wrong, so I am trying to fix it myself.

use $nav = $_GET['nav'] instead.
