The [Case] tag is used to define one possible outcome from [Select] ... [/Select] tags. If the value specified in the opening [Select] tag matches the value for the [Case] tag then the code until the next [Case] tag is executed.
If a [Case] tag is specified without a value then it is the default case and will be executed only if no other [Case] in the current [Select] ... [/Select] tags is matched.
[Select: 'Select Value']
[Case: 'Case 1 Value']
... Case 1 Code ...
[Case: 'Case 2 Value']
... Case 2 Code ...
[Case]
... Default Code ...
[/Select]
| Optional Parameters | |
|---|---|
| Case Value | The value of the current case. If no value is specified then the case represents the default case. |
To select one option based on the value of a variable:
Use the [Select] ... [Case] ... [/Select] tags. The opening [Select] tag accepts a variable that contains a value. The code which is after the first enclosed [Case] statement which matches the variable's value is executed. In the example below a 'color' variable is matched against several color names. If there is no match a default of black or #000000 is used.
[Variable: 'color'='green']
[Select: $color]
[Case: 'red']
[Output: '#ff0000']
[Case: 'green']
[Output: '#00ff00']
[Case: 'blue']
[Output: '#0000ff']
[Case]
[Output: '#000000']
[/Select]
#00ff00
