PHP how to set variable1 if variable 2 equals certain value

Question

Hi I'm trying to get one variable to set itself after an if statement on another variable, but I can't get the syntax right. Please help, this is the code that I've got so far.

$subtype = htmlspecialchars($_POST['subtype']);

if      $subtype == ['12m'] {$subprice = 273.78}
elseif  $subtype == ['6m']  {$subprice = 152.10}
elseif  $subtype == ('1m')  {$subprice = 30.42}

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

if ($subtype == '12m')
  $subprice = 273.78;
elseif ($subtype == '6m')
  $subprice = 152.10;
elseif ($subtype == '1m')
  $subprice = 30.42;

Or with the switch statement:

switch ($subtype) {
  case '12m': $subprice = 273.78; break;
  case '6m' : $subprice = 152.10; break;
  case '1m' : $subprice = 30.42; break;
}

Use PHP switch() to achieve that:

$subtype = htmlspecialchars($_POST['subtype']);

switch($subtype) {
  case "12m":
    $subprice = 273.78;
    break;
  case "6m":
    $subprice = 152.10;
    break;
  case "1m":
    $subprice = 30.42;
    break;
}
