It does have, sort of. It is, shockingly, called "continue".

PHP-wise, the above would be

for (...) {
    for (...) {
	if (...) {
	    continue 2;
	}
	// This part is skipped by the continue 2 (or continue 1, 0
	// or continue all by itself).
    }
    // This part is ALSO skipped by the continue 2 above, but would 
    // execute if continue 1, 0, or continue alone were used.
}
