switch ($myswitch) {
case 'str1':
case 'str2':
case 'str3':
case 'str4':
$_th = "user/$url/_thumb/$file";
break;
default:
$_th = "$gfx/file.gif";
}

If there are just these two possible results, then you could also do it
with a simple in_array() check and a ternary operator (a shortcut for an
if-then-else statement):

$strings = array('str1', 'str2', 'str3', 'str4');
$_th = in_array($myswitch, $strings)
? "user/$url/_thumb/$file"
: "$gfx/file.gif";
