You can do that like this..

PHP Code:

  switch(blah){
    case "blah": case "blah2":
      doStuff();
      break;
    case "blah3": default:
      doStuff();
      break;
  } 


Drops read-ability quite a bit imo though.

It was mainly just for my curiosity because I don't even have Graal installed right now. I was wondering for something along the lines of this.

PHP Code:

switch(cmd){
  case "command1":
    break;
  case "command2":
    break;
  case "help": default:  // if help or no params are given then continue
    sendtorc("commandlist");
    break;
}

Best way is to do it like this, as suggested in original post:

PHP Code:

switch (cmd) {
  case "command1":
  case "command2":
    dostuff;
  break;
  
  default:
    domorestuff;
} 


either command1 or command2 will activate "dostuff;" and doesn't really hurt readability.
