Does anyone have any opinions about this (and the bug) http://php.net/bugs.php?id=12554 ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: Bug #12554 Updated: switch() bug Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2001 09:09:41 -0700 From: "Chris Lee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> explain more. sure its a 'feature change request' but not a bug ? this was intentionally programmed like this ? to give an error on the 'case' lines vs the line where $var_name is accually used ? I feel its a bug and this could not have been intentional, but its just an opinion. I would like to see this 'feature' changed, in my opinion its not much of a feature. haha. reminds me of an old MS joke. "its not a bug, its a feature" windows has so many memory leaks that it is advised to reboot your computer once a day or more as needed, so we included this automated feature for you, we will automatically reboot your computer when the memory leaks get to large. haha :) oh well. what do you think ? am I nuts for thinking the error handeling should be changed for this case ?
