Switch case with three parameters?

Question

Is it possible to use three parameters in switch-case, like this:

switch($var1, $var2, $var3){
    case true, false, false:
        echo \"Hello\";
        b         


        

Answer 1

This is the sort of thing that used to be handled by bitwise operators:

if (($var1 << 2) & ($var2 << 1) & $var3) == 4) ...

...back when 'true' was 1.

That being said, the above is concise, but it's pretty hard to read and maintain. Nevertheless, if you have a lot of similar statements, shifting/ANDing might be a way to go to get things under control:

switch (($var1 << 2) & ($var2 << 1) & $var3)) {
   case 0: // false, false, false
       ...stuff...
   case 1: // false, false, true
       ...different stuff...
   // all 8 cases if you REALLY care
}
