Hi Andi,
It might be documented but it has not always been working like this. I
have some code that I have not touched for over 2 years, and It has workd
with both PHP4 and PHP5 versions (even PHP5-1-0-dev from Aug 19 2004
17:03:39 ). After upgrading to PHP5 CVS-HEAD it stopped working.
I have no problem forcing the default: to the buttom, but as the behavior
of PHP changd I just wanted to know if it was intentional or a bug.
In my case I hace a long æist of case 1, case 2 etc. and the default case
was the first so I had that on the top of thie list to keep a nice order.
