Elseif statements are not solely used to check *one* variable. So in
some situations you can't even use a switch without implementing
if/else statements inside the switch.
BTW:
EX1:
if ( $value === '0' )
{
echo 'If/ElseIf: The string value 0'."<br>";
}
EX3:
case $value === '' :
{
echo 'Switch/Case: The empty string'."<br>";
break;
}
Where is the basic difference in readability?
Ah yes, the case is missing the brackets ..make it kinda hard to read
for me. .-)
