Dear list,

I have opened voting on this RFC:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/switch.default.multiple#vote

The RFC is very short so I will not summarize it here.

Voting will remain open for 10 days and will close on Monday,
September the 15th.

Cheers,

Levi Morrison

That was a bit too hast and was ambiguous; to clarify the vote closes
sometime in the evening of on Monday, September the 15th, UTC-7.

Hi,

After speaking with other members of AFUP (French UG) about this RFC, we 
all agree that having two 'default' cases in a switch construct doesn't 
make much sense -- and should cause a syntax error for PHP 7.

An `E_DEPRECATED` warning for PHP 5.7 is also nice for end-users, as it 
will help anticipating the migration to PHP 7.

So, basically, +1

Since it passed, are you going to merge into master soon?

Also, you should probably amend the master branch of the spec in turn.

As I don't have Zend karma I couldn't do it myself. Joe Watkins has
since merged it into the master branch and I have updated the RFC
accordingly.

I will look into this.
