Hi Chris,
Sorry... you're right!
With this I want to print the category in a html table after a search...
The search find the data, and print category and description. This category
is a number (ID), but I want to print the name of the category. My MYSQL
CATEGORY TABLE have ID and NAME, so using the SWITCH, I want to put in CASE
the ID and ECHO the NAME.
In other webs I do
switch($category) //where $category is an array fom the db
{
case 1:
echo "category1";
break;
case 2:
echo "category2";
break;
...
}
I want the 1, 2, 3... like the ID from my table, and "category1,
category2..." like the NAME from my table
Do not know if it was understood...
Thanks again

If the $selectCategory is part of the database query, then you need to
do it like that.
switch ($selectCategory)
{
case 'category1':
$query = .....;
break;
case 'category2':
$query = .....;
break;
}
You haven't really explained what you're trying to achieve so it's a bit
hard to suggest anything.
