This is an interesting question, as my original thought was thought you can't use a case block to check for ranges of values. However, after a search on google, I came across the following solution

 

If you use a boolean value as the argument to the switch value, then you can use conditions in the case statements. THose that evaluate to true will be the ones that one. For example

$t = 25;
switch(true){
case ($t > 0 && $t <= 20)://the range from 1-20
	echo "1";
	break;
case ($t > 20):
	echo "2";
	break;
}

 

that echos "2".

 

However, this solution isn't really any better than using if-else if statements together, and syntactically I don't think using ifs would be any more work than the case statement

 

EDIT: if you wanted to use range, you would want to use in_array as part of your condition, ala

 

switch(true){
case (in_array($t, range(0,20))://the range from range of 0-20
	echo "1";
	break;
case ($in_array($t, range(21,40))//range of 21-40:
	echo "2";
	break;
}

hmm i tryed this is not working

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in ...

i need just like that function

switch(true){
case (in_array($t, range(0,20))://the range from range of 0-20
echo "1";
break;
case ($in_array($t, range(21,40))//range of 21-40:
echo "2";

seems im stuck with value geting from echo but i think that code what did you write was correct
