default as first option in switch statement?

Question

I\'ve tested this and it works fine, but it looks... weird... to me. Should I be concerned that this is nonstandard form which will be dropped in a future version of PHP, or

Answer 1

I'd personally prefer to do

switch($kind)
{
    case 'kind2':
        // do some stuff for kind2 here
        break;

    // [...]

    case 'kindn':
        // do some stuff for kindn here
        break;

    case 'kind1':
    default:
        $kind = 'kind1'; // Redundant if it's already set as 'kind1', but that doesn't make any difference to the code.
        // Do some stuff for kind 1 here
        break;

}
