switch statements are useful when there are many different cases depending on the value of the same expression.
For just one or two cases, however, the code will be more readable with if statements.
Noncompliant code example
switch ($variable) {
case 0:
do_something();
break;
default:
do_something_else();
break;
}
Compliant solution
if ($variable == 0) {
do_something();
} else {
do_something_else();
}
