make switch use === comparison not == comparison In PHP

Question

Is there anyway to make it so that the following code still uses a switch and returns b not a? Thanks!

$var = 0;
switch($var) {
            


        

Answer 1

I just use

$var === null and $var = -1; // since switch is not type-safe
switch ( $var ) {
    case 0:
        # this tests for zero/empty string/false
        break;
    case -1:
        # this tests for null
        break;
}

I think this still looks very readable if the comment starting with // is left behind (and the ones starting with # are probably best deleted).
