The switch statement is similar to a series of IF statements on the same expression. It is used to execute one statement from multiple conditions.
switch ($num) {
case '1':
echo 'Number is 1';
break;
case '2':
echo 'Number is 2';
break;
case '3':
echo 'Number is 3';
break;
default:
echo 'Number is neither 1,2, nor 3';
break;
}
