We should ask the core developers how they want continue + switch to work. I would guess that it was an oversight when they were writing the language parser, but you never know... If it comes to group concensus, my vote is to change switch to handle continue like if. The reason that I classed it as a feature request is because switch + continue has behaved in this way for a long time. The behavior the user wants can be achieved with a minor modification to their code. However, if PHP gets changed to accomodate the behavior that the user wants, then other people may have to change their code. Just my 0.02 cents --zak
