10.x backport - Inconsistent switch case syntax

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 13 August 2025, 3 months ago

Problem/Motivation

Nearly every switch statement in Drupal core uses the standard syntax of case followed by a colon. However, there are 14 instances where a case statement uses the alternate syntax of a semicolon instead of a colon. It seems that these were unintentional typos, since they are randomly mixed in with case statements using the standard syntax.

Moreover using semicolon is deprecated in PHP 8.5

Proposed resolution

Consistently use the standard switch case syntax.
