Not always true. Sometimes once you've made the switch it applies to all
members of a data array. In which case switching on every iteration is a
waste of processor since you can check a single time outside the loop.

Sanjeev is right.  You're thinking about the problem backwards.  You're 
trying to build a Switch inside a loop.  Remember, if you ever have to do 
some operating multiple times you're using a forloop, then the thing that 
you want to repeat(switch case) is INSIDE the for loop.

This will not work at all..
Instead of switch try with if condition as follows

for ($i=0; $i <21; $i++) {
if(faq$i == $q){
echo $faq1;
break;
}
}
Now it works..

You can write the code to display the result how you want.. but you cant
write the code to write a code :)

Cheers

Warm Regards,

Hi,

switch ($q) {

for ($i=0; $i <21; $i++) {
case 'faq$i':
   echo $faq1;
   break;
}
}


I just want to loop out a big long list of cases.

are the case's that you want to create with the loop going to be the only case 
statements in the switch?

Maybe you want this kind of functionality :

$faq="faq$q";
echo $$faq;

That's not a valid construct, but if I understand what you're trying do, 
this should work...


$faqs = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < 21; $i++)
$faqs[] = 'faq'.$i;
if (in_array($q, $faqs))
echo $faq1;

I don't think it is going to work. IMO
