Is there any noticeable difference (on the part of the client) between identical
conditionals, one written as a switch, the other written as an if, elseif ... else
conditional? I realize that one programmer coming in behind another might prefer the
gentler layout of a switch; but would there be any perceivable difference,
client-side, between the options?

This appears to be a really, really stupid question.
If they are indentical in operation, then ofcourse there will be no
noticeable difference to the user.
One may note that a switch statement is faster, because the condition is
only evaluated once. However you did not ask about the speed difference.

Is this level of condemnation of a poster necessary?
Whether you think Dennis's question was stupid or not,
there is no need for such harsh criticism in front of
everyone on this list.
There are many ways you could have worded your
response to ask the poster to rephrase his question.
Your approach was not appropriate.

Hi Rachel,
You'll note I did not criticise the poster, merely his seemingly stupid
question.
I suggest you practice what you preach. If you have a comment on my reply to
a users post, feel free to contact me personally - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
There is equally no need to criticise my crticism - on the list, in front of
everyone, as you so boldly put it.

Now Now children ...
It is always worth remembering that for some posters English is not
their first language and therefore while a question may sound silly,
there may be perfectly good reasons for it being asked.
Always answer the bits that fit between the lines, that is usually the
real question.
Returning to the question :)
If a case statement can be created with a switch, then that should be
faster than a string of if then's, but I have seen compilers converting
a set of switch values to a string of if then statement like checks. So
internally there may well be no difference what so ever! But where a
number of conditions need checking, then the result may not be practical
with a simple switch anyway.
So the question is possibly - does a case statement switch get processed
as a set of goto statements, or a list of equality checks? It makes no
difference to the client, but would have an effect on processing times
and perhaps the order of segments could be adjusted to account for the
most likely state first.

Ooohhhhhhhhhhh... Ouch. So there are *three* possible PHP compiles:
module, CGI, and CLI?
So far as the php binary in /usr/local/bin is concerned there are two -
cli and cgi. The module consists of different files (see the AddModule
and LoadModule bits of httpd.conf). You can have both (I have made that
my standard build for multi-homed machines) but need to muck about a bit
for this.
OK. To save us the cost of rebuilding at this host, is there any way to
pass args to the CLI version of the script running as a CGI?
You might find you start getting odd problems with http headers if you
use the cli version. In general you're better off using the cgi one. But
you can get this by recompiling but not installing php cgi, then copy
the php executable to, say, /usr/local/bin/php-cgi and prefacing your
scripts with this in the shebang. That would mean zero disruption for
users on the machine.
Peter.
Thanks & HAND

this piece of script makes alternate row colours, but i want the rows to be
coloured in blocks of 8. So the first 8 rows are white then the next are
mauve etc etc.
Alternatively i could make the rows all the same colour , but i need a blank
row after each 8 rows.? Any ideas
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
if ($i%8 == 0)
{
print "<tr
bgcolor=\"#ffffff\"><td>$item_1</td><td>$item_2</td><td>$item_4</td><td><cen
ter>$item_5</center></td></tr>\n";
}
else
{
print "<tr
bgcolor=\"#eeeeff\"><td>$item_1</td><td>$item_2</td><td>$item_4</td><td><cen
ter>$item_5</center></td></tr>\n";
}

untested:
if($i % 16 > 8)
// if ($i%8 == 0)
{
print "<tr
bgcolor=\"#ffffff\"><td>$item_1</td><td>$item_2</td><td>$item_4</td><td><cen
ter>$item_5</center></td></tr>\n";

How about:
$bgcolor = ($i % 16 > 8) ? #eeeeff : #ffffff;
print "<tr
bgcolor='$bgcolor'><td>$item_1</td><td>$item_2</td><td>$item_4</td><td><cen
ter>$item_5</center></td></tr>\n";

I think you want to include something like this in your pages header
section:
