I don't think I've ever heard Perl or C maligned on the basis of their support for goto. Perhaps I just travel in the wrong circles. GeorgeI agree. I just think it will be used badly in most instances, and PHP reputation will suffer as a result. IMHO that's a bad tradeoff when you consider the advantages you get from goto.Goto is a plainly bad idea. Yes it has its uses, but 99% of the time it would just be completely, mercilessly, utterly abused.Its not good or bad, just a language construct. Its how you use it.
