Only case I know when recursion may result in crash is if it's endless recursion (or recursion for all effective purposes can be considered endless - like one 100M functions deep). Do you know more cases? IA>>Most PHP (internal or external) code does not use exceptions, just saying IA>>"use exceptions" may work in Java, but certainly not in PHP. Well, 100% of existing PHP code doesn't use goto either, so your argument is not working.

But some code is using goto emulation by having do{}while (0); workaround with break(x);, which is uglier than goto with a label and more error prone (every break has to be reconsidered if a new nested block is added. Andrey
