My System

PHP Switch statement

I'm having an issue with a PHP switch statement.

(my new employer runs all back-end programming in PHP so I'm learning it )

The switch looks at the URI and parses out the extension (".html") and then chooses a case based on the result of the parsed URI.

(all is for instance because my company has a very high policy about confidentiality so I can't post actual code)

case "home":
echo "home";
break;
case "blah1":
echo "blah1";
break;
case "blah2"||"blah3"||"blah4":
echo "blah2-4";
break;
case "blah5":
echo "blah5";
break;
case default:
echo "default";
break;


All is well until I try to get "blah5" or default to work. When I try to get anything after "blah2"||"blah3"||"blah4" to work, it just shows what "blah2"||"blah3"||"blah4" would show.

Example: I want it to access case "blah5" and echo "blah5", but it accesses "blah2"||"blah3"||"blah4" and echos "blah2-4".

Why is this?!

I hope I was clear enough since I can't post actual code.

Thanks everyone in advance!

Dan

Fixed it!

Instead of:
Quote:
case "home":
echo "home";
break;
case "blah1":
echo "blah1";
break;
case "blah2"||"blah3"||"blah4":
echo "blah2-4";
break;
case "blah5":
echo "blah5";
break;
case default:
echo "default";
break;
I did:
Quote:
case "home":
echo "home";
break;
case "blah1":
echo "blah1";
break;
case "blah2":
case "blah3":
case "blah4":
echo "blah2-4";
break;
case "blah5":
echo "blah5";
break;
case default:
echo "default";
break;
