I agree 100% with Greg's comments for the goto() / ifsetor() discussion
on the internals list. As far as speed goes if the dev team knew of
ways to improve specific parts of the codebase (while maintaining the
rest of the features available in PHP) then I'm confident they would
make that

If there is a use for goto, that can cause certain tasks to be
acomplished faster using goto, and that implementing goto in the ZE
isn't too much work, then I don't see a problem with implementing it.
I'm not totally sure why, but Zend used goto, in the Zend Engine(one
used for php4) code for

Goto has (I believe) been described as a method of shooting yourself
in both feet at the same time.

goto (not a 'new' construct as was mentioned earlier) had its uses, but
thos would seem depricated now as you can call a function, which is
essentially what a goto did. Consider;

Absolutely nobody in this day and age advocated goto lineNumber. The
only use to have useful advantage is goto labelName and of course
that is where the labelName exists within the current execution scope.
A function call is not an acceptable replacement since you incure the
overhead of

The speed difference is negligible though, in this day and age,
dependent upon how much hair-splitting you would care to do. You're
still setting aside a block of code which will have to be parsed and you
incur the same setup if the goto section is the same code as the

A more realistic speed hit is the fact that using if/elseif/else or
switch statements requires on average an O( n ) lookup, whereas a proper
goto implemention is O( 1 ). Now I'll give you you could do an label to
function map and use that instead, but that's still O( lg n ).

Yeah, I've been following it as well.. seems there would be bigger
