PHP Experts, Optimization question

Looking to optimize a lengthy switch/case statement. Working on something like this, and considering how to optimize it and speed it up. It's not that slow yet but it might be when it's finished.

Code:

switch($var) {

  case 'val1':

      $action = 'step1';  break;

 case 'val2':

      $action = 'step2';  break;



 .. and so on for about 200 more of these ..



 default:

      $action = 'do the hokey pokey';  break;

}

if your $action are text/word try to put them in array() or store them in your database and call it in a limited query output

Yeah you could do like:

Code:

$actions['val1'] = 'step1';

$actions['val2'] = 'step2';



// Then, 

$action = $actions[$var];

Or, like it was also mentioned before, using a database:

Code:

// First, put the values into a mysql database like: value | action

// Then,

$action = @mysql_result(mysql_query('SELECT action FROM mySteps WHERE value=\''.mysql_escape_string($var).'\''),0);

Never mix storage with procedure. The easiest thing to do, would be something like:

$method = 'some' . $action;
if (method_exists(array(&$object, $method))) {
$function->$method;
}

I would do something like that ...
