PHP Switch Statement Syntax

If you want to select one of many blocks of code to be executed, use the Switch statement.

The switch statement is used to avoid long blocks of if..elseif..else code.

Syntax

switch (expression)
{
             case label1:
                     code to be executed if expression = label1;
                     break;  
             case label2:
                     code to be executed if expression = label2;
                     break;
             default:
                    code to be executed if expression is different  from both label1 and label2;
}
