this doesnt work:
<?php
for ($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) {
  print "<br>value of i = ".$i."\n";
  
  switch ($i) {
  default:
    print "<br>PHP is not buggy\n";
  }
}
?>

while this works:
<?php
for ($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) {
  print "<br>value of i = ".$i."\n";
  
  switch ($i) {
  case 5:
    print "<br>I Will never go here\n";
    break;
  default:
    print "<br>PHP is not buggy\n";
  }
}
?>

this syntax works in C and PHP3, not in PHP4.0.1pl2
