New Comment:
Alright, I understand what you are all saying. I'm sorry if my most
recent comment sounded rude - I was annoyed that [EMAIL PROTECTED]
thought I would be foolish enough to ask a support question here. I
genuinely thought this was a bug. One question that's still at the back
of my mind is, why does it work for everything else, except when it's
being compared to 0?

Your code is bogus, this is correct:
$filled = 0;
switch ($filled) {
case 0: echo "filled equals zero";
break;
}
Who told you you can use case $filled == 0: ? It's simply not ok.

What makes you think you can put expressions in a case statement? You
can't. No bug here.

Perhaps you misunderstood my report - what I posted SHOULD echo "filled
equals zerofilled equals zero also" but it doesn't.
Another example below:
$filled = 0;
switch($filled){
case $filled == 0:
echo "filled equals 0"
break;
}
$filled = 100;
switch($filled){
case $filled == 100:
echo "filled equals 100"
break;
}
When that is executed, it returns "filled equals 100". It SHOULD have
returned "filled equals 0filled equals 100" but it doesn't - the only
explanation is a bug in the switch code. This is not a bogus bug
report.

The bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support
questions. For a list of a range of more appropriate places to ask
for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php

The following lines of code produce this:
"filled equals zero"
$filled = 0;
if($filled == 0){
echo "filled equals zero";
}
switch($filled){
case $filled == 0:
echo "filled equals zero also"
break;
}
As far as I can tell, there is no reason why that case isn't satisfied
- $filled DOES equal 0, as the if statement proves, yet "filled equals
zero also" never appears on the page. However, replacing "case $filled
== 0:" with "case 0:" does work. This can only be a bug.
