Do you need break in switch when return is used?

Question

I was wondering if I need to use \"break\" in \"switch\" function when \"return\" is used.

function test($string)
{
  switch($string)
  {
    case \'test1\':
            


        

Answer 1

You do not need a break, the return stops execution of the function.

(for reference: http://php.net/manual/en/function.return.php says:

If called from within a function, the return() statement immediately ends execution of the current function
