PHP - Else / IF to Switch

[wackyedd]

Hello,

I am looking for some assistance with my PHP code, I have created a simple database lookup and echo using else / if statements but I have been informed that it would be better to use a switch statement. How would i go about changing the code below to a switch?? I am lost.

Here is the code:

<?php
if(ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE=='de')
{
$my_id = 943;
}
else if(ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE=='nb')
{
$my_id = 944;
}
else if(ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE=='sv')
{
$my_id = 945;
}
else
{
$my_id = 909;
}
$post_id_7 = get_post($my_id);
echo $post_id_7->post_content;
?>

I appreciate any tips or hints that can help me improve upon this!

With thanks and kind regards

Edd

<?php
switch(ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE) {
case "de":
$my_id = 943;
break;
case "nb":
$my_id = 944;
break;
case "sv":
$my_id = 945;
break;
default:
$my_id = 909;
break;
}
$post_id_7 = get_post($my_id);
echo $post_id_7->post_content;
?>

Thanks ever so much for your help, you did not need to write the code but I think I am starting to understand switch thanks to it.

Your a star!
