Help with switch()...

So here's what I'm trying to do.

switch($_GET['fuseaction']) {
case'add' :
/* ... */
break;
/*...*/

}

PHP:

So if the fuseaction corresponding case doesn't exist, the script will die.

Please help!

 

use default

switch($_GET['fuseaction']) {
case'add' :
/* ... */
break;

default:
   /*...*/
}

PHP:

also same if you use if else, like this:

if ($_GET['fuseaction'] == "add") {
  /* ... */
} elseif ($_GET['fuseaction'] == "insert") {
  /* ... */
} else {
  /* ... */
}

PHP:

i like to use if else than switch

 

default is preferable if fuseaction can take several values, other than if ... elseif ... else

 

I am using default already. But I want to kill the script if fuseaction takes a value that doesn't have a corresponding case.

Do you know what I mean?

...
// user typed example.com/page.php?fuse=foo

$caseValue = $_GET['fuse'];

case 'blah' :
// ...
break;

case'new' :
// ...

default :


break;

// ...

PHP:

Since there was no case'foo' I want to throw an error

 

In that case, don't just break the conditional, kill the script with die():

...
// user typed example.com/page.php?fuse=foo

$caseValue = $_GET['fuse'];

case 'blah' :
// ...
break;

case'new' :
// ...

default :
die("I don't know how to handle $fuseaction\n");

// ...

PHP:

 

I guess that will work. I didn't want to use it in default though. I was gonna use that for something else.
