Hi,
Sorry, I forgot to CC my last reply to the list. I noticed similar
behaviour and filed a bug report: 30285. The case described in the bug
report is as follows:
$x = "a";
switch ($x) {
default:
echo "default";
break;
case "a":
echo "a";
break;
}
// Prints "a"
Even though the documentation mentions that default should always be last,
this is a BC break from 5.0.x and at least 4.3.2.
Thanks,
Benj
