Hi,
The behavior between if else and switch is not different in PHP.
However is there difference for the performance (I know in C it's
different) while interpreting the script?
Thanks in advance
if i recall correctly, one of the bugfixes/improvements to the
latest/greatest PHP version was improving the speed of switch statements...
so I assume they are as fast as if/else at least right now...
obviously the real benefit of using 'switch' is that its great for going
through many possible conditions, and results in far more readable code.
