Case¶

Case is a PHP keyword, which may be used in three distinct situations:

with switch() expression
with match() expression
with enumeration

case is often complemented with default.

<?php

enum Suit
{
    case Hearts;
    case Diamonds;
    case Clubs;
    case Spades;
}

switch ($i) {
    case 0:
        echo "i equals 0";
        break;
    case 1:
        echo "i equals 1";
        break;
    case 2:
        echo "i equals 2";
        break;
}

?>
