PHP > ASP Select Case Statement

[MagSafe]

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand with converting a php select case statement into an asp one?

I normally use php for coding and have been using this for a while on various websites i've done:

<?php

	switch($page)
	{
		default:
			include("home.php");
			break;
			
		case aboutme:
			include("aboutme.php");
			break;
			
		case portfolio:
			include("portfolio.php");
			break;
			
		case links:
			include("links.php");
			break;
			
		case contact:
			include("contact.php");
			break;
			
		case thankyou:
			include("thankyou.php");
			break;
	}

?>

...but not to sure how to convert it into asp?

try this ? not 100% confident might execute all of the below


<%
dim page

page = variable

Select Case page
case "aboutme"
server.execute("aboutme.php")
case "portfolio"
server.execute("portfolio.php")
else
server.execute("thankyou.php")
end case

%>

Thanks again,

Don't you have to break out of cases in VB? Or do they not fall through?

they don't fall through. Sucks I know.

Hmm, how strange.

Not sure why it sucks!

As for the syntax, I believe the else needs correcting, from memory.

<%
  select case page
	case "about"
	  server.execute "about.asp"
	case "portfolio"
	  server.execute "portfolio.asp"
	case else
	  server.execute "home.asp"
  end select
%>

You wouldn't want to include PHP files in ASP either

makes them less flexable than the C/PHP/Java/almosteverythingelse switches/selects

switch ( foo ) {
    case 1:
    case 2:
        // do something
        break;
}

Loads easier.

SELECT CASE strPage
	CASE "moo", "monkey", "chicken"
		stuff
	CASE "banana", "apple"
		other stuff
	CASE Else
		other other stuff
END SELECT

SELECT CASE intPage
	CASE 1, 2, 5
		stuff
	CASE 3, 6, 7, 8, 9
		other stuff
	CASE Else
		other other stuff
END SELECT

Doesn't that do the same though?
