Which way is the best?

[Kryllster]

I have some code / code blocks concerning case block and have basically 2 questions. First which of these is the correct way to write a case block or which is the best.

1.

case main;
include('somefile.php');
break;

 

2

case: 'main';
include('somefile.php');
break;

 

3.

case "main";
include("somefile.php");
break;

 

which leads to the next question when do you use double quotes and when do you use single quotes? If it really doesnt matter. then I guess it should be pretty uniform across documents etc..

I say none of them.

 

case 'main':
     include('somefile.php');
     break;

 

See the colon instead of the semi-colon? If you use a semi-colon, your include statement will always run regardless. There isn't a general rule on when to use double quotes or single quotes. If you must use variable interpolation, then double quotes. I tend to start with single quotes and use double quotes for HTML attributes. But speed difference, almost the same.

If we want to get really technical, include is a language construct, not a function, therefore () is not necessary and if I remember correctly, it should not be used.
