variables within a switch statement

[oliverkazaam41]

$price = 0.00;

switch($someValue)
{
    case "One":

        $price = 1;
        break;

    case "Two":

        $total = $price + 2;
        echo $total
        break;
}

I'm having problem on this. Basically what i want is to use the value of $price in case "One" to case "Two". But it won't work. Any idea how to accomplish this? Thank you in advance.

a case will not get executed unless the condition is true, so if case "Two" is true, case "One" will never execute and therefore that assignment to $price will never exist.  Maybe you are unsure about how switch() works? It is basically the same as doing this:

 

if ($someValue == 'One') {
  $price = 1;
} else if ($someValue == 'Two') {
  $total = $price + 2;
}

 

Why not just do $price = 1; instead of $price = 0.00; up there before the switch?

Or just remove the break in the first case.
