What To Use Instead Of A Mass Switch Case Randomly

[Tidehunter]

I have a switch that uses a rand() to find the respective cases in between a number range, like so:

 

switch($number = rand(1,10)) {
   case ($number > 1 && $number <= 5):
       doFunction();
   break;
   case ($number > 5):
       doFunction();
   break;
}

 

how would I use this in an array format? I find using switches to be clunky and limiting.

 

I want to be able to do like:

 

$array = array(
  1-10 => 'value',
  11-20 => 'value'
)

 

Is this possible?

That switch isn't even correct, that's not how switches work.

 

The most efficient way to do this is with an if/elseif tree.

Oh, well... apologies. It was a quick example not meant to be correct.

 

Thank you anyways.

If you have an actual question, go ahead and ask it.  Your quick example was bad PHP code, and you haven't explained what you are trying to do.  There isn't a great way for us to help you if you don't describe a problem or provide actual code to look at.

Actually I did. My question was, is there another way to use a number range using arrays. You're telling me how switches work, yet you don't provide an example. You're telling me to provide actual code to look when I don't even know how to code it? rofl

 

I wasn't looking forward to having an ass enter my thread, otherwise I'd just fart.

 

Thanks for your god damn help.

That's not a great way to get help

Edit: Screw that, I just saw your nasty butt response to Dan, and I retract my help.
