PHP Switch

In PHP, the switch statement is a control structure that provides an efficient way to evaluate an expression and execute different blocks of code based on the value of that expression. It's often used when you have a single value and want to perform different actions depending on the possible values of that value. The switch statement is more concise and easier to read than a series of if-elseif statements when dealing with multiple conditions.

Syntax of switch statement:

    switch (expression) {
        case value1:
            // Code to execute when expression equals value1
            break;
        case value2:
            // Code to execute when expression equals value2
            break;
        // Additional cases as needed
        default:
            // Code to execute if none of the cases match
    }
    

For example :

    $day = "Monday";
switch ($day) {
    case "Monday":
        echo "It's the start of the workweek.";
        break;
    case "Friday":
        echo "It's almost the weekend!";
        break;
    default:
        echo "It's a regular day.";
}
