Switch Statements
All the conditional processing used thus far has involved <cfif> statements. But as I stated at the beginning of this chapter, ColdFusion also supports another form of conditional processing: switch statements.
The best way to understand switch statements is to see them used. Listing 9.10 should be saved as file switch.cfm.
When you have executed Listing 9.10, you’ll notice that it does exactly what Listing 9.5 (file if5.cfm) does. The code here is very different, however.
Listing 9.10. switch.cfm
