hiya tedd,
you mean to ask "not technically correct" ... I plead
that it's his statement that is not technically correct.
1. php does a soft comparison ('==' rather than '===') so the
results of each case expression is auto-cast to a boolean
(in the case of switch'ing on TRUE), ergo there is no 'as long',
statements will always resolve to a boolean ... only they may not
do it in a way that is readily understood by everyone.
2. the php engine specifically allows for 'complex expression'
cases testing against a boolean switch value ... not best practice
according to some but very much technically correct according to
the php implementation.
