Quoting Nelson Menezes <flying.mushroom@gmail.com>:
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.
I 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. Does C suffer from having goto?
