[PHP] Re: GOTO command. Doest it exist?
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 ?
}else{
? SHOW THAT ?
}
Whence such construction as below keep the codes clean as:
if(TRUE)
goto OUTPUT1
else
goto OUTPUT2
OUTPUT1:
? SHOW THIS ?
OUTPUT2
? SHOW THAT ?
BTW, if PHP has not goto commands some warning should be put with the
do{}while commentaries where it makes one to believe that there _is_ goto
commands, as it happened to me.

Then, there isn't. I guess because it's a structured language, derived
mostly from C. If you need goto for some reason, you need to do your
work in ASP (VBscript). But you have if ... then, switch and other
structures, you shouldn't need goto anyway.

Usually GOTO indicates a function of some sort, which you could easily replicate with a function() or switch() if you need to send your application in a different direction depending upon a set of circumstances.

OK, Anyway goto's are bad and wrong things... And one shouldn't use it. I am wrong in trying to solve such problem using it.

Re: [PHP] Re: GOTO command. Doest it exist?
Well, IMO, the only languages that really need goto's are low-level ones like assembly and C. goto's are more trouble than they're worth when you get into structured or OO programming. -- Scott Hurring Systems Programmer EAC Corporation scott (*) eac.com -- Carlos U.
