Branching using SWITCH

        SWITCH is to substitute alternative command structure with IF .. ELSE else rather than one that makes the program easier to understand.

Syntax :

switch(condition)

 {

     case costanta 1: statement1;

          Break;

     case costanta 2: statement2;

          Break;

     default : default statement;

 }

Example :

1.  Check Month

            $x=5;

      Switch($x)

       {

            Case  1 : echo “January”;

                  Break;

            Case  2 : echo “February”;

                  Break;

            Case  3 : echo “March”;

                  Break;

            Case 4 : echo “April”;

                  Break;

            Case 5 : echo “May”;

                  Break;

            Case 6 : echo “June”;

                  Break;

            Case 7 : echo “July”;

                  Break;

            Case 8 : echo “August”;

                  Break;

            Case 9 : echo “September”;

                  Break;

            Case 10 : echo “October”;

                  Break;

            Case 11 : echo “November”;

                  Break;

            Case 12 : echo “December”;

                  Break;

            Default : echo “wrong input”;

       }

the result is May
