I have noticed similar repetition and trying to work around using a single for loop for this if I can to minimize the code length:
I wouldn't need to use a switch case if I can form a loop instead?
$returnNo variable starts at 5, each case multiplied by 2 then minus 1.
where it shows "$a<=", it starts at 5 and each case multiplied by 2 then plus 3.
the if() statement starting at if($matchno == 7), each case multiplied by 2 then plus 1.
the final if() statement starting at if($matchno == 8), each case multiplied by 2.
I have done up to case 64, it will actually go up to 512. As I know the code is repeating I am hoping someone can help me produce a single loop for this?
Many thanks!
switch($max) {

$matchinfo['place'] = ($matchno == $a ? 'clan1' : 'clan2');
return $matchinfo;
}
$returnNO++;
$a++;
}
if($matchno == 7){
$matchinfo['winner'] = true;
return $matchinfo;

$matchinfo['third_winner'] = true;
