Switch Function

[f1d]

Hi all,

Trying to write some simple code to change the header of a website depending on the date (i.e. for christmas, halloween).

I believe the switch function uses the == operator by default, can another operator be used in a case instead?

As in, if a date falls between 12th and 23rd december, use this logo?

Or would it have to be one for the 12, 13th and so on (in which case easier to do elseif).

Cheers!

You can put the comparison into the case, e.g.:

<?php

function sample($value)
{
   switch(true)
   {
      case ($value < 10):
         echo "$value is less than 10";
         break;
      case ($value <= 20):
         echo "$value is between 10 and 20";
         break;
      default:
         echo "$value is greater than 20";
   }
}

for($i=0; $i<10; $i++)
{
   sample(rand(0,30));
   echo "<br>";
}
?>

Although NogDog's suggestion is valid, I personally feel that in this case you might as well use if-else constructs instead of a switch.
