Is there a way to use switch statement for 3 or more cases?

<div>
<?php switch($variable): 
case 1: ?>
<div>
Newspage
</div>
<?php break;?>
<?php case 2: ?>
</div>
Forum
<div>
<?php break;?>
<?php case 3: ?>
</div>
Blogs
<div>
<?php break;?>
<?php endswitch;?>
</div>

because I get expected statement error message.

Answer 1

because I get expected statement error message.

I'm guessing you get unexpected switch error messages?

In that case you have not completed an earlier statement (or have syntax-errors). We need more code in any case.

Answer 2

switch($variable):  should be

switch($variable){

It opens and closes with a bracket. See http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_switch.asp for correct syntax.
