RE: [PHP] Switch case syntax

 Some codes start with MB- for instance, and this causes a 
 parsing error.

I don't see how this would cause a parse error? Can you show
us an example?

 Hi Folks,

 In a switch, I have a load of 3 letter prefixes I'm sorting by.  They
 are the truncated first 3 letters of alpha-numeric product codes which
 gives the category of the product.
 Some codes start with MB- for instance, and this causes a parsing
 error. Can I fix this without changing the fact I'm switching on a 3
 letter string?

 Cheers

You are sticking those values in quotes? Frinstance

switch($variable) {
case 'IBM':
 break;

case 'DEC':
 break;

case 'MB-':
break;
}

No, they weren't in quotes strangely.  Adding quotes removes parsing error.

Thanks David
