Not true. I've come to really appreciate the structure of switches.
What helps to "unlock" their power is that you don't *have* to compare
your switch() param with your case() params.
Building on Paul's good advice of splitting logic from presentation:
[code]
$display_name = '';
switch('set_display_name')
{
case($row[1] == 'none'):
case($row[1] == $row[2]):
$display_name = $row[0] . ' ' . $row[2];
break;
default:
$display_name = $row[0] . ' (' . $row[1] . ') ' . $row[2];
break;
}
// now print table, using $display_name
[/code]
