preg_match in statement

[dinoslikeroar]

I need to convert variable being matched to uppercase and preg_match for the value in the case statement. I'm not sure what exactly I am missing.

{
        $x = ucfirst($value);
        switch ($x) {
            case 'Urine';
                if(preg_match('/(urine)(URINE)(Urine)/', $x)) {
                    return 'UR';
            }
	}
}

You could use a case-insensitive match. The first example in the PHP manual shows you how.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php

Note: with a case-insensitive match, you can remove the switch statement and the call to ucfirst().

OP, tell us what the real problem you are trying to solve is instead of your attempt at solving it.
