when using switch command on an empty or null variable,
when getting to case 08, it commits it...
for example :

<?
$aa="";

switch($aa)
{
caes 01:
     echo "a";
     break;
caes 08:
     echo "b";
     break;
}


this will display 'b'

08 is an invalid number (8 has no value in octal), so it
resolves as 0. in php, 0 equals to "" and thus the case
works right.
