Subject: switch() and default:
From: frank@kromann.info ("Frank M. Kromann")

Hello Everyone,

I just discovered a small thing in the switch() statement. The position of
the default: clause has to be at the end of the code:

$a = 1;
switch ($a) {
   default :
   case 0 :
      $b = 1;
      break;
   case 1 :
      $b = 2;
      break;
}
echo $b; // should print 2 but it prints 1

$a = 1;
switch ($a) {
   case 1 :
      $b = 2;
      break;
   default :
   case 0 :
      $b = 1;
      break;
}
echo $b; // prints 2 as expected.

This is tested on Linux with PHP5 CVS-HEAD

What changed ?
