switch / case

[poe]

is there a way to have case greater than a number like:

 

i am looping through a baseball boxscore, which i put into an array

arrBox:
Array
(
    [0] => final~2~3~4~5~6~7~8~9~10~r~h~e
    [1] => toronto~1~0~1~0~1~1~0~0~1~5~10~1
    [2] => texas~0~0~1~1~1~0~0~0~0~4~10~0
)

foreach($arrBox as $k=>$v)
{
$box[] = split("~", $v);
}
$boxhead[] = array_shift($box);
foreach($boxhead[0] as $k=>$inng)
{
switch($inng)
{
	case '>9': // greather than 9 = xtra innings
		$boxExtra = 'extra innings';
		break;
	case 'r':
		$boxScore = $box[0][$k] .'-'. $box[1][$k];
		break;
}
}

echo $boxScore .' '. $boxExtra;

 

 

is there a way to have case greater than a number like: case '>9':

it seems to be looking for literlly '>' and 9...

 

thanks

Why does it need to be a switch?  Why not an if statement?

good point..

 

i didnt have a real reason why, i just tried it and i didnt work, so i thought i would ask the Q just to see if it could be done..

 

thanks

Yes, you can use conditionals in the case statement, but you need to switch on the value "true":

<?php
switch(true)
{
	case ($inng > 9): // greather than 9 = xtra innings
		$boxExtra = 'extra innings';
		break;
	case ($inng == 'r'):
		$boxScore = $box[0][$k] .'-'. $box[1][$k];
		break;
}
?>
