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 ?

It's always been like that and has been documented for ages in the manual.
