From:             stevepburke at hotmail dot com
Operating system: 
PHP version:      Irrelevant
PHP Bug Type:     Documentation problem
Bug description:  Incorrect switch example

Description:
------------
In the documentation for the 'switch' statement, there is an example by
scott at firefallpro dot com dated 22-Dec-2005 03:01.

In his second example, it doesn't seem to work properly unless the switch
statement is "switch(true)" and not "switch($x)"

Reproduce code:
---------------
Example:
<?php
$x = 0;

switch($x) {
 case $x === "a":
   echo "a";
   break;
 case $x === "b":
   echo "b";
   break;
 default
   echo "default";
}
?>




Expected result:
----------------
default

Actual result:
--------------
a
