Can I have multiple cases that do the same thing?

The first one is definitely something that works, but which one below is the efficient way?

switch($type) {
    case 1:
     print 'success';
    break;

    case 2:
     print 'success';
    break;

    case 3:
     print 'success';
    break;

    case 4:
     print 'success for type 4';
    break;
}

Since 1, 2 and 3 print do the same, can I do this?

switch($type) {
    case 1, 2, 3:
     print 'success';
    break;

    case 4:
     print 'success for type 4';
    break;
}

or

switch($type) {
    case 1:
    case 2:
    case 3:
     print 'success';
    break;

    case 4:
     print 'success for type 4';
    break;
}

•  switch($type) 
   {
       case 1:
       case 2:
       case 3:
           print 'success';
       break;
       case 4:
           print 'success for type 4';
       break;
   }
  

  Is the way to go!

• PHP manual lists an example like your 3rd for switch:

  <?php
  switch ($i) {
  case 0:
  case 1:
  case 2:
      echo "i is less than 3 but not negative";
      break;
  case 3:
      echo "i is 3";
  }
  ?>

• I agree with the others on the usage of:

  switch ($i) {
     case 0: //drop
     case 1: //drop
     case 2: //drop
        echo "i is 0, 1, or 2";
     break;
     // or you can line them up like this.
     case 3: case 4: case 5:
        echo "i is 3, 4 or 5";
     break;
  }
  

  The only thing I would add is the comments for the multi-line drop through case statements, so that way you know it's not a bug when you (or someone else) looks at the code after it was initially written.
