PHP Switch issue

I imagine your only two options are to stick an if after the switch statement, or include the same line(s) in the 1st and 2nd cases as the default case.

Because of the way PHP goes through switch() statements sequentially, you could just leave cases 1 and 2 at the bottom, just above default, and omit the break; from case 1 and case 2 and put an if() in case 2 to ensure it's not case 1 falling through.

switch ($p) {
 case 0:
  do something
  break;

 case 1:
  do something else
 case 2:
  if(case 2) {
    do a third thing
  }
 default:
  do a fourth thing
  break;
}

In most other languages, you'd just define a label in default and goto() it, but PHP won't let you goto() into a loop or switch statement. Although, technically, you're already in the switch() scope, so maybe it'd work. Try it.

switch ($p) {
 case 0:
  do something
  break;

 case 1:
  do something else
  goto cheapassgotolabel;
  break;

 case 2:
  do a third thing
  goto cheapassgotolabel;
  break;

 default:
  cheapassgotolabel:
  do a fourth thing
  break;
}

Yes, I said goto(). Sometimes it's okay

As a matter of fact, the goto statement has being introduced in PHP 5.3. Can be useful at times but better off avoid if possible.
They've included that comic too :pac:

Sorry I miss read your post. Thought you said there was no goto, but yeah you can't go into a switch or loop structure. However, have you tried doing a jump within a switch? - Never know, you can jump out too

Yes, switches are generally only used when it's one and only case or there's a sequential flow where you can place breaks in neccessary positions. If's prob provide more freedom. Best luck
