PHP 4.0 Bug #8768: 'continue' inside of 'switch' statement acts like 'break' instead of 'continue'

From: godai@neomueller.org Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.0.3pl1 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: 'continue' inside of 'switch' statement acts like 'break' instead of 'continue' When a continue is used inside of a switch statement (inside a loop), it does not jump to the top of the next loop iteration, but instead jumps out of the switch statement and proceeds to execute the code following the switch. The following code snippet should give a good example: <?php for( $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++ ) { switch( $i ) { case 5: continue; default: $garbage = 0; // do something unimportant } echo "$i<BR>"; } ?> The output *should* be the numbers 0 to 4 & 6 to 9 listed down the screen, skipping 5. Instead, 5 appears in the list making it a complete 0 to 9. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8768&edit=1
