RichardRotterdam Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 what's not right on the following $first_name[5] = "Michae;l" notice how the final character in that line is not a semicolon?

dink87522 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 I fixed it by removing that last break statement in the second switch. Why did this fix it though? As http://www.tizag.com/phpT/switch.php shows it as being acceptable as having a break there.
