note 90073 added to control-structures.if

Although most programmers are aware of this already, if for whatever reason you need to 'break' out of an if() block (which, unlike switch() is not considered a looping structure) just wrap it in an appropriate looping structure, such as a do-while(false): <?php do if ($foo) { // Do something first... // Shall we continue with this block, or exit now? if ($abort_if_block) break; // Continue doing something... } while (false); ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 76.2.25.104 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.if.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/90073 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90073/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90073/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90073/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90073/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90073/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90073/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90073 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/90073 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
