note 91399 added to control-structures.goto

"goto" is a very powerful construct; it can prevent unnecessary nesting and can save hundreds of lines of code in complex functions in which recursion or modularization is not desireable. Remember, all loops are, in the end, simply wrapped "goto" statements. On the topic of backward compatibility, no PHP-5-specific constructs are backward compatible. This is called progress. With "goto", many algorithms can now easily be ported to PHP. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 216.158.20.130 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.goto.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/91399 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91399/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91399/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91399/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91399/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91399/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91399/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91399 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/91399 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
