Select Case function

[AndreRet]

I'm not sure how to write this in php, so any help will be appreciated -

In vb6, I would have had a function similar to this code -

Function GetReserve()
Dim xAmount As Integer, xValue As Integer

Select Case xAmount 'Where xAmount is an Integer

Case Is = 0 And < 99
xValue = 5

Case Is = 100 And < 199
xValue = 10

End Select

How can I rewrite AND use this in php, please.

VB6 to PHP ... temptation while it is easy ... do you know VB6 or PHP ?

Andre - seeing as it's you...:)

function GetReserve($xAmount){
 
  switch(true){
    case ($xAmount >= 0 && $xAmount < 100):
      $xValue = 5;
    break;
    case ($xAmount >= 100 && $xAmount <= 199):
      $xValue = 10;
    break;
    default:
      $xValue = 0; //if not between 0 and 199!
    break;
  }
  return $xValue;
}

I may be wrong, but your code showed <99 and then 100+, which means 99 would not be included at all. Was this intentional? I've changed it to 0-99,100-199. Again, your second case would not include 199 nor 200.

Ok, example use:

$int = 78;
$reserve = GetReserve($int);

Not tested. Range testing with switch in php is a pain. I usually test it agianst 'true'. If somebody has a better was to do range testing in switch, please let me know.

Ok, how about that bottle of Castle?

You're the man, thanks.

Code seems to work fine as well, some kudos fur ya':)

No, dropped a few brain cells here, should have been equal or less to 99 etc.

Oh yah, I'll have two on you tonight, that ok.;) You know you're beer!!!, but then again, S.A. Breweries is producing half the worlds beer anyway.;)

Now you're talking. If you come over to Cardiff for an international I'll buy you a pint of Brains S.A. (known locally as Skull Attack). I have to warn you it's an acquired taste. One that I kept on trying to acquire for 20 years. I'm a glutton for punishment, or perhaps just a glutton! :)

[AndreRet]

LOL, I think we'll get along very well then, or at least the parts we can remember should seem that we did.;)

If that counts as gluttony, I'm a leading expert in the field, also 20 years of acquiring a taste for some alcohol beverages, still trying, probably will for some time!:)
