@switch - Switch Case Statement

The @switch directive in Ahmed PHP Template Engine allows you to execute different blocks of code based on the value of an expression, similar to a traditional switch statement in PHP.

Syntax

@switch(expression)
    @case(value)
        // Code to execute
        @break
    @case(value2)
        // Another case
        @break
    @default
        // Default case if no match is found
@endswitch

Example

@switch($status)
    @case('active')
        <p>Status: Active</p>
        @break
    @case('pending')
        <p>Status: Pending</p>
        @break
    @case('inactive')
        <p>Status: Inactive</p>
        @break
    @default
        <p>Status: Unknown</p>
@endswitch

Output (if $status = 'pending')

<p>Status: Pending</p>

Notes

• The @case directive is used to define each case.

• The @break directive prevents fall-through behavior.

• The @default directive is optional and executes if no cases match.
