I find a switch statement sometimes handy for creating a 'truth table'
like you describe (I sometimes find it easier to read and/or add 'if' clauses):
switch (true) {
case ($grandmaAge >= $tableAge):
case ($grandmaAge < $houseAge):
case ($grandmaAge == array_sum($grandKids)):
bakeCookie();
break;
default:
haveABeer();
watchFootball();
}
functionally the above could just as well be an if statement - it's pretty much
a question of personal preference.
