How to convert `if condition` to `switch` method

Question

How can I write this if condition in switch method?

if( $k != \'pg_id\' && $k != \'pg_tag\' && $k != \'pg_user\' )
{
           


        

Answer 1

Use break to prevent follow through to next case:

switch($k)
{
case 'pg_id':
case 'pg_tag':
case 'pg_user':
  // any match triggers this block; break causes no-op
  break;
default:
  $result = $connection->run_query($sql,array(...));
}

I'm not sure why you want to use a switch statement for this though.

If it's for readability, you could try this instead:

if($k != 'pg_id' &&
   $k != 'pg_tag' &&
   $k != 'pg_user')
{
  $result = $connection->run_query($sql,array(...));
}
