PHP Switch Statement

The switch statement is used to execute a block of code based on a specific value.

Syntax

switch (expression) {
    case value1:
        // code to be executed
        break;
    case value2:
        // code to be executed
        break;
    default:
        // code to be executed
}

Example of PHP Switch Statement

<?php
$day = "Monday";
switch ($day) {
    case "Monday":
        echo "Today is Monday";
        break;
    case "Tuesday":
        echo "Today is Tuesday";
        break;
    case "Wednesday":
        echo "Today is Wednesday";
        break;
    case "Thursday":
        echo "Today is Thursday";
        break;
    case "Friday":
        echo "Today is Friday";
        break;
    case "Saturday":
        echo "Today is Saturday";
        break;
    case "Sunday":
        echo "Today is Sunday";
        break;
    default:
        echo "Invalid day";
}
?>

Output:
