Switch Default¶

A switch default, also called default, is the catch-all option in a switch() or a match() expression.

In a switch(), the default case may be stacked with other cases, to apply the same code. This is not possible with match().

<?php

switch($x) {
    case 'a':
    default:
        $a = 1;
        // fall through

    case 'b' :
        $a =2;
        break 1;
}

?>
