#4056 — a perl guy question; next label? continue label?

It doesn't appear the php has a continue label construct as in (perl)

:outer for(.......
   :inner for (....
      if (...) {
          next outer;

Is that correct?

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.
}

Yah, I saw that.  I wondering about the label part of it.   (array ==

Nope, no labels. Maybe someday. Shifting from perl to PHP is learning
that you can still do pretty much everthing you could before, just in
the dumbest way you'd be able to do it in perl. The only saving virtue
is that so much stuff comes rolled into the main distributions of PHP
that no one has ever bothered to propose something like CPAN without a
"Haha! Just kidding!" at the end.

The easiest way, you mean. What used to irritate me about perl was 
precisely that there were 1000 ways to do anything - so you had to know 
them all. And the doccy always implied that the more esoteric you made 
your code, the more Terribly Clever (TM) you were.

I once dipped into the perl ng to ask a question about parameter 
passing. But they were all too busy being Terribly Clever (TM) to give 
me a civil answer. So fuck 'em.

Hmm,

I have had good experience with perl newsgroups in the past.
But that was like 800 years ago. :-)

Maybe the nice chaps all moved to PHP/Python and the likes and the ones 
that were in need of a penis extension stayed behind. ;-)
