Need help creating a Switch case

I have the following code:

$model = $row['v_products_model'];
$smallid = substr($model, 0, 4);

There are 123 values for $smallid.

I need to give a value to the variable $mpg based on the value of $smallid, like this:

If $smallid = '5456' then $mpg = 'Mouse'
If $smallid = '5434' then $mpg = 'Speakers'
If $smallid = '5432' then $mpg = 'Cable'
If $smallid = '5431' then $mpg = 'Adapters'

etc, etc.

I need someone help me in building the code. I'm not sure if switch is the answer or may be another implementation.

Please help. I'm in a hurry with this.

Thanks

 

You could use an array pretty easily.

$mpg  = array(
    5456 => 'Mouse',
    5434 => 'Speakers',
    5432 => 'Cable',
    5431 => 'Adapters'
);

echo $mpg[$smallid];

PHP:

You would need to create the array, but shouldn't be too difficult.

 

And how can I do it? - I need help in doing that. Thank you for posting

 

As you said there are 123 values for $smallid. I hope these values are fixed.

Create one associative array for all 123 values like following:

$mpqArr = array(

5456 => 'Mouse',
5434 => 'Speakers',
5432 => 'Cable',
5431 => 'Adapters'
put all reamining also here as similar way
);


$model = $row['v_products_model'];

$smallid = substr($model, 0, 4);

$mpg = $mpgArr[$smallid];

$mpg will have the exact value which you wanted.



I hope you will able to write code now.
