PHP switch statement syntax example and efficiency comparison with ifelse

switch (expression)
{
case label1:
 code to be executed if expression = label1;
 break; 
case label2:
 code to be executed if expression = label2;
 break;
default:
 code to be executed
 if expression is different from both label1 and label2;
}
