Switch?
Hi all,
I would like to set a variable based on a date range. I would like to use a something like a switch for neatness. I was thinking something like:
[code=php]switch (strtotime($datetime)) {
case < strtotime(‘1 December 2008’):
$vat = ‘17.5%’;
break;
case >= strtotime(‘1 December 2008′) && <= strtotime(’31 December 2009’):
$vat = ‘15%’;
break;
case > strtotime(’31 December 2009′):
$vat = ‘17.5%’;
break;
}
What would be the neatest way to accomplish this?
Thanks!
