Do you hate switch statement in PHP like i do ?

Look at this switch statement . its boring right?

<?php
$day = "Wednesday";

switch ($day) {
    case "Monday":
        echo "Start of the week, grab some coffee!";
        break;
    case "Tuesday":
    case "Wednesday":
        echo "Midweek vibes, keep coding!";
        break;
    case "Thursday":
        echo "Almost there, you got this!";
        break;
    case "Friday":
        echo "Hello, weekend! Time to celebrate!";
        break;
    default:
        echo "It's the weekend or an unknown day, take a break!";
}
?>

here we are saying $day is Wednesday . The case checking for each of the date and print a message . Its so huge and boring to write . There must have a better way !! Here’s the same example using the match statement in PHP (available from PHP 8.0 and later):

<?php
$day = "Wednesday";

$message = match ($day) {
    "Monday" => "Start of the week, grab some coffee!",
    "Tuesday", "Wednesday" => "Midweek vibes, keep coding!",
    "Thursday" => "Almost there, you got this!",
    "Friday" => "Hello, weekend! Time to celebrate!",
    default => "It's the weekend or an unknown day, take a break!",
};

echo $message;
?>

n this version, the match statement provides a more concise syntax to achieve the same result as the switch statement. The arrow (=>) is used to associate each case with its corresponding message, and the default case is handled with default.
