ID: 8768 Updated by: stas Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Assigned To: Comments: switch is a looping structure in PHP, just like for, but one-time. Use "continue 2;" if you want to continue the outer loop. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-01-17 16:50:40] [EMAIL PROTECTED] When a continue is used inside of a switch statement (inside a loop), it does not jump to the top of the next loop iteration, but instead jumps out of the switch statement and proceeds to execute the code following the switch. The following code snippet should give a good example: <?php for( $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++ ) { switch( $i ) { case 5: continue; default: $garbage = 0; // do something unimportant } echo "$i<BR>"; } ?> The output *should* be the numbers 0 to 4 & 6 to 9 listed down the screen, skipping 5. Instead, 5 appears in the list making it a complete 0 to 9. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION! Do NOT reply to this email!
