PHP Switch Statement - Switch vs if/else statement - Full PHP 8 Tutorial

In this PHP tutorial you will learn about the switch statement in PHP, how to use it with examples, concerns when using switch statement within loops & the differences between the series of if statements & the switch statement. The switch statement is similar to if, elseif, else statements. The main difference is that the switch statement takes a single expression & compares its value against multiple values (cases).

Gio, I've said it before but I MUST reiterate it. Your tuts are THE VERY BEST on YT. You are so knowledgeable and you explain everything so thoroughly. I never thought I'd actually love watching a YT tut. But I love yours. And can't wait for the upcoming Laravel tuts. Keep up the great work!

Your tutorials are really awesome, not just for sake of videos, they are perfectly made with relevant information, great work

it's never too soon to discuss how to ensure your code is running as efficiently as possible. These computationally expensive examples really make the point clear.
Thank you for always having efficiency top of mind while you teach these concepts.

I know the real reason why we should use 'break' after watching this video. Thanks

[marwanak]

The only time an if statement is faster than switch is if the if is with ===. Thank you for the video

Can you put the list number of each video to their titles? Like: 1.16 Loops

Hi Gio, Does continue; works as break; only in switch to avoid infinity.
Thanks

Meaning switch statements run faster than if statements ?>
