If you wan't to use the alternative syntax for switch statements this won't work:

<div>

<?php switch($variable): ?>

<?php case 1: ?>

<div>

Newspage

</div>

<?php break;?>

<?php case 2: ?>

</div>

Forum

<div>

<?php break;?>

<?php endswitch;?>

</div>

Instead you have to workaround like this:

<div>

<?php switch($variable):

case 1: ?>

<div>

Newspage

</div>

<?php break;?>

<?php case 2: ?>

</div>

Forum

<div>

<?php break;?>

<?php endswitch;?>

</div>
