Question

Looking for an easier way to accomplish:

$switch_success = false;
switch ($var){
    case "a":
        // do some stuff
        $switch_success = true;
        break;
    case "b":
        // do some stuff
        $switch_success = true;
        break;
    case "c":
        // do some stuff
        $switch_success = true;
        break;
}
if ($switch_success){
    // switch was successful - run once only if switch finds a matching case
}

Maybe another case keyword like default only for any or all:

case "c":
    // do some stuff
    break;
all:
    // switch was successful - run once only if switch finds a matching case

Or maybe …

$switch_success = switch ($var){
    case "a":
    // do some stuff
    break;
    case "b":
    // do some stuff
    break;
    case "c":
    // do some stuff
    break;
}
if ($switch_success) //... 

Just tried that to no avail, but just trying to illustrate my intent.

Answer 1

Try $switch_success=1; at the top, and default: $switch_success=0; at the end of the switch.
