Note Submitter: Anonymous ---- Correction to [Miguel Cruz 15-Apr-2009 12:37], at least in php 5.3: "'break 0', while allowed, does nothing" is not true. break 0 (and break -1) act just like break without an argument or break 1. Here's the code (which also confirms the findings of [RK 17-Dec-2010 04:09]) -- <?php function break_level($i) { while (true) : break $i; echo "printed WITHIN function control structure when \$i = " . $i . "<br />"; endwhile; echo "printed AFTER function control structure when \$i = " . $i . "<br />"; } break_level(-1); // => outputs "printed AFTER function control structure when $i = -1" break_level(0); // => outputs "printed AFTER function control structure when $i = 0" break_level(1); // => outputs "printed AFTER function control structure when $i = 1" break_level(2); // => Fatal error: "Cannot break/continue 2 levels in [program_name] on line 4" echo "printed after LAST CALL to function when \$i = " . $i . "<br />"; ?>
