Here is your code from the example with the "break" statement


<?php

  $menu = "links";

  switch($home) {

    case "home":

      echo "You clicked home";

      break;

    case "links":

      echo "You clicked links";

      break;

    case "email":

      echo "You clicked e-mail";

      break;

   default:

      echo "I don't know what you clicked";

      break;

  }

?>


That will always produce "I don't know what you clicked" because you set the switch at $home and there is no $home. If you set the switch to $menu...it will work as expected.
