Match Construct in PHP
In PHP 8.0, a special construct
match appeared, representing a simplified
version of switch. This construct is also
used to select one value
from a series of values. Here is its syntax:
<?php
match (variable) {
value1 => result1,
value2 => result3,
value3 => result3,
default => default value
}
?>
What comes after the => operator
is returned as the result of the
match operation and can be assigned
to a variable. Let's try it
in practice:
<?php
$lang = 'ru';
$res = match ($lang) {
'ru' => '111',
'en' => '222',
'de' => '333',
default => 'unsupported language'
};
echo $res;
?>
The variable $num can take values
1, 2, 3 or 4.
Determine which season the value
of this variable falls into.
