if you are porting an old programme, try using "SWITCH", some time back i successfully ported a lengthy code in to PHP which had many "GOTO"s . Viraj note: also, i had to use some parameter passing mechanism. Justin Patrin wrote: Nitin wrote: Hi all, I was wondering, if there's any way to a

maybe switch() would be of some use? Your could save the values for $type in an array and look them up to get a numbe to use with switch(). You can also have a "case else" with switch. "Stephen Brewster" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I am wi

Non sequitur. C is a structured languaged and has goto. Why shouldn't PHP have goto? Sometimes is pointless bundle together HTML and PHP and keep it in a if statement or a function, like this if(TRUE){ ?> SHOW THIS SHOW THAT SHOW THIS SHOW THAT Yes... and it seems that there ain't any GO
