| The answer is YES. Here's the example.
<?php
// switch example using strings
$creature="dragon";
switch ($creature){
case "rat":
echo "a $creature goes: eek eek eek";
break;
case "dragon":
echo "a $creature goes: nice to eat you";
break;
case "pig":
echo "a $creature goes: oink oink oink";
break;
default:
echo "I have not heard of this creature";
break;
}
?>
