If there are several wrapped loops, it'd be almost impossible to detect that you're now breaking a wrong loop. I think the only thing that could be changed is "continue;" - without an argument - and the thing that should happen is a notice that it may not do what you (might) think it's doing. If you use something like "continue 2;" I would assume you know what you're doing, this is a PHP-specific construct so it is reasonable to assume you checked it does what you think it does. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
