Once switch<\/code> finds a matching case<\/code>, it just executes all the remaining code until it gets to a break<\/code> statement. None of the following case<\/code> expressions are tested, so you can’t have dependencies like this. To implement sub-cases, you should use nested switch<\/code> or if<\/code> statements.<\/p>\n

switch ($category) {\ncase 'A':\n    $msg = 'hello';\n    if ($offer == 'special') {\n        $id = '123';\n    } elseif ($discount == '50D') {\n        $id = '999';\n    }\n    break;\n...\n}\necho $id;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
The fallthrough feature of case<\/code> without break<\/code> is most often used when you have two cases that should do exactly the same thing. So the first one has an empty code with no break, and it just falls through.<\/p>\n
switch ($val) {\ncase 'AAA':\ncase 'bbb':\n    \/\/ some code\n    break;\n...\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
It can also be used when two cases are similar, but one of them needs some extra code run first:<\/p>\n
switch ($val) {\ncase 'xxx':\n    echo 'xxx is obsolete, please switch to yyy';\ncase 'yyy':\n    \/\/ more code\n    break;\n...\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
