Omitting the break statement can be useful in some cases
<?
$aColor = "Red";
switch( $aColor )
{
case "red":
case "Red":
// The following prints if $aColor is
// either "red" or "Red"
print( "#FF0000<br>" );
break;
case "green":
case "Green":
print( "#00FF00<br>" );
break;
case "blue":
case "Blue":
print( "#0000FF<br>" );
break;
default:
print( "other<br>" );
break;
}
?>
