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;
?>
