1) Go to <http://php.net/manual/en>

2) Use the "Search" box to look for "switch"

3) You should find this:

<http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.switch.php>

Cite:

The statement list for a case can also be empty, which simply passes
control into the statement list for the next case.

<?php
switch ($i) {
case 0:
case 1:
case 2:
    echo "i is less than 3 but not negative";
    break;
case 3:
    echo "i is 3";
}
?>

switch($value)
{
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
    // dosomething
    break;   // <--- THIS IS IMPORTANT!

case A:
case B:
case C:
    // dosomethingelse
    break;   // <!-- THIS IS IMPORTANT!

default:
    // if nothing else matches
}
