question about switch statement

[CyberShot]

when you build a switch, does it have to have a default case? If so, is there a way to get it to default to the first case instead of re posting the code in the default?

No, a switch statement is not required to have a default case. As far as your second question goes, why not just set your first case as the default case. You could then remove the original first case and he switch statement would be the same

well this is for wordpress. I am setting up a slider for a website. So a person will be able to choose in an admin interface the slider they want. So there will be several options. I had different files and was using includes but I decided to recode it and just put the html/php into a switch statement instead. So if they choose a particular slider, it will run that code.

I'm not sure how this changes what I suggested

I don't understand what would happen when they go to choose the first slider and there is no case for that slider. I guess you are saying that it would default to default case. In that case. I understand what you are saying. That is a good suggestion. Thank you.
