But we already have goto, which could be used in this case, too. while ($i--) { if ($i % 2) goto foo; } foo: Unfortunately goto does not have a good image ;-) Best regards Christian

Yes, I use sometimes this feature in JavaScript (which allows to “break” any labelled block, not just loops). That said, it is somewhat less needed, since we have `goto` in PHP. But it would be nevertheless welcome. (I won’t go as far as deprecating `break 3;`, although I tend to avoid such code.)

The bad reputation of `goto` is indeed harmful. I heavily use `goto` in PHP because I like structured programming. :-) —Claude
