Is it possible to nest multiple switch statements together?

Do you mean like this?

PHP Code:

switch (foo) {
  case "bar":
    switch (foo2) {
      case "bar2":
        break;
      case "baz2":
        break;
    }
    break;
  case "baz":
    break;
} 


Possible? Probably. But why would you want to complicate it like that?

Exactly what I meant. I was thinking that you could do something like this;

PHP Code:

function onPlayerChats() {
   temp.pc = player.chat.tokenize();
   switch (pc[0]) {
     case "+":
       switch (pc[1]) {
         case "gold":
         break;
         case "item":
         break;
         case "health":
         break;
         default:
           player.chat = "Invalid parameter";
         break;
      }
     break;
     case "?":
     break;
     default:
     break;
  }
} 


Something of the sort. I realize after typing that though, if I wanted the ? command to display help, then there would be a lot of extra typing.

You're probably better off nesting if/else if-statements in this case.

Yes, you can nest multiple switch() statements inside of each other.
