Hi internals, Another small deprecation for your consideration... https://wiki.php.net/rfc/continue_on_switch_deprecation Regards, Nikita IMO the proposed illustrations will lead to as much, if not more, WTF from other language users as current behaviour. Why? Because the programmer still has to account for the 'switch' in how continue works. This will just cause a BC problem for older code without adding anything for people new to PHP.My suggestion, is to make the break (no pun intended) be clean. Deprecate use of continue from usage to escape switch completely in next PHP, then remove that functionality in PHP 8.
