PHP: Switch Case

Switch case used as an alternative to if-else-elseif to make it simpler to write conditions that are long and repeative.

We use PHP Switch case as follows for the example mentioned earlier:

<?php
$sunlight = 0;
?>

<?php
switch ($sunlight){
    case "0":
        echo "sunlight not present";
        break;
    case "1":
        echo "sunlight present";
        break;    
    
    default:
        echo "Not sure about sunlight";
        break;    
}
?>

This could have done using if-else-elseif also. But, using switch case simplies writing our code and understanding it. Also, note the default case in the switch statement.
