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

Nope. From the manual page:

Note that switch/case does loose comparison.

If you only have two conditions, use an if like your second example. Otherwise, check for NULL first and switch on the other possibilities:

if (is_null($var))
{
  return 'a';
}

switch ($var)
{
    // ...
}
