I think what richard meant to ask was:

will

case >=A && <=Z :

work

But he couldn't even figure that out, and he obviously didn't run my 
example php program that attempted to show him that he was working from a 
flawed understanding.

Oh well, roll on the fucked up code.

As for whether it will work or not, well I'm buggered if I can be arsed 
to help richard any more. He can find out for himself.

And now for a special message to richard:

richard, your comprehension of how switch statements work is currently so 
fucked up that you are presently incapable of coding one that does what 
you want, even if it appears to do so under test conditions with the 
limited test data that you feed it. I strongly suggest you take a 
sabbatical from your project to learn basic php programming syntax before 
doing any more work on your website. 50 years might do it, although with 
your current record, it might be best to set aside at least 300.
