Need help regarding php

I was coding a vBulletin pHp file and I am confused a bit.

When we use case in php, does it works same as it works in C++? I mean, if we declare a case in php like this:

[FONT=Courier New][COLOR=#007700]switch([/COLOR][COLOR=#0000bb]$_GET[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700][value[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]])[/COLOR][/FONT]

and then we will call it

case 1:
<code>
break;

Will it work?

Can somebody please explain me switch case in PHP? I am really confused after reading some tutorials.

Yeah, it works in the same way as in C++.

The syntax is as follows

switch($var)
{
case value1:
    ....
    break;

case value2:
    ....
    break;

default:
    .....
}

This sounds good. I've been motivating myself towards learning PHP too and if the majority of the language is similar to C++ I don't think it would be that tough...

Re: Need help regarding php

It's not a tough language to learn at all if you've done any c++, java etc. I'm trying to start learning Django/Python and it makes PHP look like cake

I have learnt all the basics of C++ and I am still learning it. I also wanted to learn good PHP since I am a coder also.

Thankyou AB for giving me the support.

I am a n00b to PHP as of now, but I'm hoping to catch on in some months time. For now I'm concentrating on strenghthening my base at C++ and then we'll look at php...

Re: Need help regarding php

Now days, PHP is also important like C++ since it is used in building WebPages. There are many websites providing Tutorials & Resources on PHP.

I have started learning PHP along with C++ & VB. Kshitiz, you can easily learn PHP since you are excellent in VB and C++.

EDIT: AB, Can you tell me does "curl" function require "PHP safe mode enabled"?

Re: Need help regarding php

No, you don't need to enable safe mode to use cURL.

If you are finding these things too hard you might be better off going to the vbulletin forums and ask on there as they also know what to do.
You can actually put it in as a string and it is easier.

His query was related to PHP, not specifically related to vBulletin and I doubt he found it too hard as he posted the correct syntax himself.

Though I asked it for vBulletin, but my main objective was to clear my doubt regarding switch case in PHP.

I asked at vB.org but they haven't explained me well.

Thankyou AB.
