Note Submitter: adam dot pilorz at labsql dot pl ---- tweston at coldsteelstudios dot com, your "goto loop" is not while replacement, but "do ... while" replacement. In short - while structure can be not executed if when starting loop condition is not met, while your's "goto loop" executes once and then test the condition. In other words: <?php goto_loop: $i++; if( $i < 100 ) goto goto_loop; ?> is identical to <?php do{ i++; } while( $i < 100 ); ?> but isn't identical to <?php while( $i < 100 ){ $i++; } ?> When $i is set to 1000 before those loops, the first two will end with $i = 1001, while the third will end with $i = 1000.
