Hi internals, Another small deprecation for your consideration... https://wiki.php.net/rfc/continue_on_switch_deprecation

Regards, Nikita

Could you clarify the PHP 8 changes: "PHP 8 generates a compile error." Does this mean *any* use of continue in a switch is a compile error, or only continue without a number

     Neither:

Continue can still be used inside switch statements, as long as it does

     not target the switch.

     The lines marked "Deprecated" in the examples are the ones which will be
     compile errors.

Thank you Rowan. I have added a code example to https://wiki.php.net/rfc/continue_on_switch_deprecation#unaffected_php_functionality to further clarify what is deprecated and what continues to be allowed. Nikita Thanks, this makes it clearer.
