Hi above's switch case statement, I would like to use a function to run the multiple loop to generate the case's name, so can i know how to generate with function on a switch case statement like this?
switch(n){
case badgenameloop():
//dosomething
break;
}
And is it possible to do that?
Thanks and sorry for my bad English.

Answer 1

According to PHP Manual
The case expression may be any expression that evaluates to a simple type, that is, integer or floating-point numbers and strings. Arrays or objects cannot be used here unless they are dereferenced to a simple type.
I'm afraid you can Not have a Loop for a case statement, hence a waste of time trying.

You can do this for example:
function badgenameloop($key)
{
switch($key){
case "badge01":
case "badge02":
case "badge03":
case "badge04":
case "badge05":
echo "badge 1";
break;
}
}
function badgename2loop($key)
{
switch($key){
case "badge_2_01":
case "badge_2_02":
case "badge_2_03":
case "badge_2_04":
case "badge_2_05":
echo "badge 2";
break;
}
}
$key = "badge_2_01";
switch($key){
case badgenameloop($key): break;
case badgename2loop($key): break;
}
