Bug description: Evaluation of String as Switch/Case Parameter
Description:
------------
Case seems to evaluate only parts of the given case name against the in
case given comparator.
In the given example it aways runs into the first case, comparing only the
first four characters of both strings.
Reproduce code:
---------------
decide("Items");
decide("Item");
decide("some");
function decide ($parameter){
Switch($parameter){
case "Items":
echo "These are all items \n";
break;
case "Item":
echo "A single Item \n";
break;
default:
echo "not listed";
}//end switch
}//end function
Expected result:
----------------
These are all items
A single item
not listed
Actual result:
--------------
These are all items
These are all items
not listed
