Can I use a logical "or" in a PHP switch statement case?

Question

Is it possible to use "or" or "and" in a switch case? Here's what I'm after: ``` case 4 || 5: echo "Hilo"; break; ```

Accepted Answer

No, but you can do this:

```
case 4:
case 5:
       echo "Hilo";
       break;
```

See the PHP manual.

EDIT: About the AND case: switch only checks one variable, so this won't work, in this case you can do this:

```
switch ($a) {
  case 4:
    if ($b == 5) {
      echo "Hilo";
    }
    break;
  // Other cases here
}
```
