[Solved] Switch or if()?

[Irrorate]

This is a question that I’ve pondered for a while. Which is more code-efficient? Which is more performance-efficient? Will a switch statement run quicker than many different if statements?

Take this for example:

Code:

if($_GET[‘do’] == ‘add’){
// code here
} elseif { ($_GET[‘do’] == ‘edit’){
// code here
} elseif { $_GET[‘do’] == ‘delete'{
// code here
} else {
// code here
}

Would the above if statement run better than:

Code:

switch($_GET[‘do’]){
case(‘add’):
// code here
break;
case(‘edit’):
// code here
break;
case(‘delete’):
// code here
break;
}

Thanks for any opinions.

Thanks guys, I had a feeling a switch would run better than an if/elseif/else.

Thanks for clarifying, just trying to make my code more efficient! :)
