From: stevepburke at hotmail dot com
Operating system:
PHP version: Irrelevant
PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem
Bug description: Incorrect switch example

Description:
------------
In the documentation for the 'switch' statement, there is an example by
scott at firefallpro dot com dated 22-Dec-2005 03:01.

In his second example, it doesn't seem to work properly unless the switch
statement is "switch(true)" and not "switch($x)"

Reproduce code:
---------------
Example:
<?php
$x = 0;

switch($x) {
case $x === "a":
echo "a";
break;
case $x === "b":
echo "b";
break;
default
echo "default";
}
?>




Expected result:
----------------
default

Actual result:
--------------
a
