switch trouble

I've got the switch structure right:

switch ($i) {
case 1:
print "i equals 1";
break;

default:
print "i doesn't equal 1";
}

But no matter what I do it always executes the default code block. How
do I pass a value for $i to the program?

Are you setting a value for $i?

At the top of the code put:
$i = 1;
and then see what happens.

If you're talking about running the script from the command line and
want to pass a value for $i, check out

http://us3.php.net/reserved.variables

and read about argv. If you're running it as a webpage, it'll need to
come from somewhere...probably (but not necessarily) an HTML form.

Indeed, it is correct syntax.

Where is the value for $i coming from, i.e. where is $i set?
