switch case statement

[richie]

How do I convert an IF ELSE statement to a SWITCH CASE statement?

The switch case below doesn't work.

$textlen = strlen($descr);

if($textlen>10 && $textlen<50) {
$completeness = 1; $deduct = 1000;
}
elseif($textlen>50 && $textlen<100) {
$completeness = 2; $deduct = 500;
}
else {
$completeness = 0; $deduct = 2000;
}

switch($textlen) {

case >10 && < 50: $completeness = 1; $deduct = 1000; break;
case >50 && < 100: $completeness = 2; $deduct = 500; break;
default: $completeness = 0; $deduct = 2000; break;

}

<?php

switch(TRUE){
    case ($textlen>10 && $textlen<=50):
        // Do something
        break;

case ($texlen>50 && $textlen<=100):
    break;
}

switch($textlen) should be changed to switch(true)

I dont see a problem with using the if-elseif-else control structures though.

Incidentally, your ranges have breaks in between. For example, if $textlen = 50, then control will be passed to the else block.
