Switch and Case for strpos() in PHP

Sometimes we need to check multiple strings for the presence of a specific piece of text. In many cases, the switch statement may be a perfect fit for this.

In this tutorial, I will show how to use switch and case with the strpos() function in PHP.

Use true inside the switch and check in every case if the strpos() result is !== false.

Example:

<?php

$text = 'My favorite color is red.';

switch (true) {
    case strpos($text, 'blue') !== false:
        echo 'Picked color: blue.';
    break;

    case strpos($text, 'red') !== false:
        echo 'Picked color: red.';
    break;

    case strpos($text, 'green') !== false:
        echo 'Picked color: green.';
    break;
}

?>

Output: Picked color: red.
