What’s missing with Switch Statement?

[rahulephp]

In below switch statement, it should have to print only "T","E","S" characters as string "testing" contains these words.

But it is printing all characters including "X" and "Z".

I can’t use "break;" because it will break operation after first case. (After matching "T" with word "testing") but I want to continue the operation even after every case to find the next character.

 

Please advice if anything is missing.

 

 

switch(true)
{
case stristr('testing','t'):
echo "T"."<br>";

case stristr('testing','x'):
echo "X"."<br>";

case stristr('testing','e'):
echo "E"."<br>";

case stristr('testing','z'):
echo "Z"."<br>";

case stristr('testing','s'):
echo "S"."<br>";
}

Is this your actual code or a simple example? Is there a particular reason you have decided to use a switch for this?

Yes,  actually i wanted too use the same kind of switch statement somewhere in my website but cant be able to post the actual code as it has 100+ lines. Thats why i wrote here a simple and same kind of code.

Hi

 

Unfortunately switch works that after the first case statement is satisfied it will execute ALL the statements until it hits a break.

 

A simple structure to replace yours which should give the results you want would be

 

 

<?php
$SearchArray('t','x','e','z','s');

foreach($SearchArray AS $SearchElement)
{
if (stristr('testing',$SearchElement))
{
	echo strtoupper($SearchElement).'<br />';
}
}
?>

 

All the best
