Switch problem

[laradam]

Hi,

 

I am trying to use switch to select from different options, but i only am able to get the == value displayed and never the != value:

 

switch ($judgement){
    case $a == $b:
        echo Same  <br>"; break; 
case $c != $d:
        echo "Different  <br>"; break;  } 

 

What am i doing wrong please?

switch compares/uses the value contained in the 'switch variable' to do its 'stuff'. your case statements don't use that value from what you have shown.

Thank you. Can you give me a generic example please? I have trawled the web for days and that is as far as i got.

 

Basically what i am trying to do is compare database values, with each combination of values giving a different result (5* 6 combinations in all)

You can also switch on the "true" value, then you can used conditionals in the case statements:

 

<?phpswitch (true) {    case $a == $b:       echo '$a is equal to $b:' . $a . ' == ' . $b . '<br>';       break;    case $c != $d:       echo 'something else';       break;}?>
