PHP Switch case not working



I am trying to use a simple php switch case() statement below, but for some reason it is unable to function:

<?php
 switch($ad)
{
 case "1";
      echo "This is first php switch case statement";
    break;
 case "2";
      echo "This is second php switch case statement";
    break;
default;
      echo "This is default php switch case statement";
    break;

?>

Hope someone can help and explain the reasons why
cheers,
Tim

Tim, your php switch case should end with colon (:) not semi-colon (;).


<?php
 switch($ad)
{
 case "1"<b>:</b>
      echo "This is first php switch case statement";
    break;
 case "2"<b>:</b>
      echo "This is second php switch case statement";
    break;
default<b>:</b>
      echo "This is default php switch case statement";
    break;

?>

Make sense?

That indeed worked. I am still learning.
