Re: GOTO operator

It is not for the OOP model by itself, but for a general code maintenability issue that OOP languages tend to address, while a too powerful goto operator may cause certain abuses from not well experienced programmers. Being involved in the open source world, I frequently have to deal with other's code. I hope not to find a day a project that I have to internally deal with, containing a jungle of gotos. It is a sort of strategical decision - while it seems to me that with the new ZE the PHP language is suggesting the path for a more and more (hopefully) maintenable code, it seems also that with a goto operator we also allow to produce less even maintenable code. But reading the various posts here, I changed a little my opinion. I'm in favor of a goto operator if the "scope" of its labels is limited to, say, a function/method only. My experience with basic is dated at about twenty years ago so in my mind there are ugly examples like 10 print / 20 goto 10 :-) So now I can give, as others said, my +0.00000001. Alex
