Prevent memory leaks? WHAT? Even if that were an issue, implementation of switch in PHP does not look like a switch. Breaks are used to prevent fall through to the next case condition. Default is used as a catch-all... if you need a catch-all. It is perfectly valid for a case statement to fall through to the next case statement if the code can be shared.
