Best way to do a PHP switch with multiple values per case?

Question

How would you do this PHP switch statement?

Also note that these are much smaller versions, the 1 I need to create will have a lot more values added to it.

Version 1:

switch ($p) { 
    case 'home': 
    case '': 
        $current_home = 'current';
    break; 

    case 'users.online': 
    case 'users.location': 
    case 'users.featured': 
    case 'users.new': 
    case 'users.browse': 
    case 'users.search': 
    case 'users.staff': 
        $current_users = 'current';
    break;

    case 'forum': 
        $current_forum = 'current';
    break; 
} 

Version 2:

switch ($p) { 
    case 'home': 
        $current_home = 'current';
    break; 

    case 'users.online' || 'users.location' || 'users.featured' || 'users.browse' || 'users.search' || 'users.staff': 
        $current_users = 'current';
    break;

    case 'forum': 
        $current_forum = 'current';
    break; 
} 

UPDATE - Test Results

I ran some speed test on 10,000 iterations,

Time1: 0.0199389457703 // If statements
Time2: 0.0389049446106 //switch statements
Time3: 0.106977939606 // Arrays

Answer 1

For any situation where you have an unknown string and you need to figure out which of a bunch of other strings it matches up to, the only solution which doesn't get slower as you add more items is to use an array, but have all the possible strings as keys. So your switch can be replaced with the following:

// used for $current_home = 'current';
$group1 = array(
        'home'  => True,
        );

// used for $current_users = 'current';
$group2 = array(
        'users.online'      => True,
        'users.location'    => True,
        'users.featured'    => True,
        'users.new'         => True,
        'users.browse'      => True,
        'users.search'      => True,
        'users.staff'       => True,
        );

// used for $current_forum = 'current';
$group3 = array(
        'forum'     => True,
        );

if(isset($group1[$p]))
    $current_home = 'current';
else if(isset($group2[$p]))
    $current_users = 'current';
else if(isset($group3[$p]))
    $current_forum = 'current';
else
    user_error("\$p is invalid", E_USER_ERROR);

This doesn't look as clean as a switch(), but it is the only fast solution which doesn't include writing a small library of functions and classes to keep it tidy. It is still very easy to add items to the arrays.
