The PHP switch statement is a control structure used to execute one block of code among many alternatives based on the value of a variable or expression. It is an alternative to writing multiple if…else statements.
Syntax:
php
switch ($variable) {
case “value1”:
// Code for value1
break;
case “value2”:
// Code for value2
break;
default:
// Code if no case matches
}
Key Features:
- Evaluates a variable/expression once.
- Matches its value against each case.
- Executes the first matching block; uses default if no match is found.
