If you want to use a switch statement you could do:
switch ($hour) {
case 0:
echo "Go to sleep.";
break;
case 10:
echo "Good Morning";
break;
case 22:
case 23:
case 24:
echo "Good night";
break;
}
Just list each case statement for the numbers you want that action to
occur. The break statement is what keeps it from falling through to the
next case. In the example above it will print "Good night" for 22, 23,
and 24.
