Note Submitter: Douglas Manley ---- "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.
