Yeah, that's true, but any control structure that needs (TRUE) as a running
condition is IMHO a Bad Thing(tm)...

If you really want to use switch, you can use use switch (TRUE) and in the
case something like ($a < 10 && $a > 100).
It's not really any better than if / elseif, but it looks cool :)

Cool, just wanted a definitive 'no' :) As it is, I don't really care if the

user manages to jam some odd value in there since it's building a SELECT

statement and nothing "dangerous".



Hooray for 'default' case!! :P



Thanks!

I'm being lazy - in Pascal/Delphi you can assign a range as a case in a

switch statement. for example... case(0..255) or case('A'..'Z').



Does PHP have a facility to do this? I note that the above doesn't like me

very much ;)

    



No. Switch to an if()...elseif()...else() and use a regular expression

character class or something similar inside the if().



There was a brief talk of adding this to PHP, but it was rejected.
