If you want to select one of many blocks of code to be executed, use the Switch statement.

Syntax

switch (expression)
{
case label1:
  code to be executed if expression = label1;
  break;  
case label2:
  code to be executed if expression = label2;
  break;
default:
  code to be executed
  if expression is different 
  from both label1 and label2;

Example

This is how it works: welcome to phpsu.com

A single expression (most often a variable) is evaluated once
The value of the expression is compared with the values for each case in the structure
If there is a match, the code associated with that case is executed
After a code is executed, break is used to stop the code from running into the next case
The default statement is used if none of the cases are true

  break;
default:
  echo "No number between 1 and 3";
}
