Re: switch & continue statements

A switch will match the value to one of the cases and then continue executing each line until it encounters the end of the switch block or encounters a 'break'; It doesn't do any other validation after the initial sucessfull case validation. I've never used a continue inside a switch block but I doubt it will jump you to the default case.

In any case, I ask of anybody who can answer my question to *send me an e-mail* at mcpatulc@caramail.com, and not answer on the list/newsgroup/etc. (Thank you.) My question is the following: When having a switch statement as follows: switch($value) { case something: if(condition) { do_my_stuff; } else { continue; } case something_else: do_my_other_stuff; default: show_error_message; } Does the continue continue on evaluating (and comparing) $value to the case statements, or does it give control to the default: statement? Simpler put: Does a "continue" statement within a "switch" statement pass control to that "switch" statement's "default:" section?
