Question: Ok, here is my situation:

I have installed Xampp (v1.8.2) on my server to publish a webprogram i am making (php, html) for some people in my network.
For the first time i have to connect to MSSQL 2008 server instead of MYSQL (phpmyadmin).
over the past years i've always worked with the MySQL api and a little with MySQLi. 
I have read over the internet i must use PDO so i can succesfully connect to the MS database.

As i can see PDO is not installed/activated.
When i look into the PHP.ini file the only thing i see is: 

```
extension=php_mssql.dll

```

but no 

```
extension=php_pdo_mssql.dll

```

i've read allot (i.e that i have to install soms dll files, that i have to install apache, PHP, PDO manually) 

What is the good way to make a successful connection to my mssql database?

Thanks

Answer: 
if you want to break out of the 2 switch statement you can use the optional argument to break

```
switch(xyz){
 case "xyz":
   switch(xyz){
    case "hello":
      // JUMP OUT OF THIS TWO SWITCH-STATEMENTS
      break 2;
   }
   break;
}

```

check the second example in <http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.break.php>
What you need is the [break 2;](http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.break.php)

`break` is nothing else than `break 1` - so in your case quitting the second switch.

`break 2` will quit the second switch AND the first switch.

```
switch(xyz){
 case "xyz":
   switch(xyz){
    case "hello":
      // JUMP OUT OF THIS TWO SWITCH-STATEMENTS
      break 2;
   }
   break;
}

```
