CyberShot Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 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?

mikesta707 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/246916-question-about-switch-statement/#findComment-1268031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberShot Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 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.

mikesta707 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I'm not sure how this changes what I suggested Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/246916-question-about-switch-statement/#findComment-1268035 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberShot Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 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.
