Falling through a switch case?
<p>I was in the process of writing a switch case when I read on the PHP site: </p>

<p><code>Thus, it is important not to forget break statements (even though you may want to avoid supplying them on purpose under certain circumstances).</code></p>

<p>A switch case without break statements was perfect for what I wanted to do. I want all the cases below the matched one to execute. Why is this wrong, and what is the best way to do it differently?</p>

<p>Is it bad for all languages, or just PHP? Why?</p>

<p>edit: Whether it is or isn't a problem, is there a way to do the same thing without a switch case?</p>
