PHP is not Perl, and doesn't support postfix statement modifiers. This
is intentional, and unlikely to change.

It's a simple feature that PHP can have, if just substitute if+return,
for
instance to return+if. It's, change to one-line script.
See test script and read more...
Well, sometimes we need to break function, or while, or foreach, or
maybe force
continue case somethink occur, a condition.
My idea is make this more readable, in an one line script.
Instead of:
if($a < $b) return;
We do:
return if $a < $b;
Or:
return if($a < $b);
Maybe only accept a boolean on return:
return $a < $b;
Then:
return true; // do "return"
return false; // not do
Same to continue:
for($i=0; $i<10; $i++){
continue $i === 5;
echo $i . "\n";
}
It's a valid idea? ^o)
Bye.
