I have some switch cases in PHP where I’d like to count some types of values once.

I will show a screenshot to understand what I mean:

So, you can see the values into the red circle. I’d like to count once that value. This is an example:

(if there is “going +3”) Count +3 once;

(if there is “going +1”) Count +1 once;

(if there isn’t nothing like before) Count -2 once;

and so on with the others value: course, distance, class etc etc

This is an example of my code:

    switch(true)
{
  case ($row['course'] == $courses and $row['pos'] == "1"):
    echo "<td style='background-color:#00FF00'><b><font color='red'><u>  Course: +2;</u> </font></b></td>";
    $showcourse1 = "2";
    break;
    case ($row['course'] == $courses and $row['pos'] == "2"):
        echo "<td style='background-color:#00FF00'><b><font color='purple'><u>  Course: +1;</u> </font></b></td>";
        $showcourse2 = "1";
    break;
  default:
   echo "<td> Course: -2; </td>";
    $showcourse3 = "-2";

    break;
}


switch(true)
{
  case ($row['dist'] == $distances and $row['pos'] == "1"):
    echo "<td style='background-color:#00FF00'><b><font color='brown'><u> Distance: +3;</u> </font></b></td>";
    $showdistance1 = "3";
    break;
    case ($row['dist'] == $distances and $row['pos'] == "2"):
        echo "<td style='background-color:#00FF00'><b><font color='turquoise'><u> Distance: +1;</u> </font></b></td>";
        $showdistance2 = "1";
    break;
  default:
  echo "<td> Distance: -2; </td>";
  $showdistance3 = "-2";

    break;
}

Sorry if my explanation is not so clear, but I don’t know how to explain it better

Thanks for your help
