note 85083 deleted from control-structures.break by peehaa

Note Submitter: Anonymous ---- The previous note has a somewhat stupid author: why didn't you put an example? If I got it right, "case"s in "switch"es always need a "break". So this switch ... <?php switch ( $i ) { case '1': // Works echo "$i=1"; break; case '2': // Works require( 'include1.inc' ); break; case '3': // Doesn't work require( 'include2.inc' ); break; case '4': // Doesn't work, same reason require( 'include2.inc' ); default: // Works echo "$i"; } ?> ... has a problem in case "4" in that it doesn't have a "break" and this file... include2.inc: <?php echo "$i"; break; ?> ... has a problem in that it has a "break" that is not in a "control structure" (like while, for...). In the same way, although "include2.inc" is "include"d (obvioulsy) in the <?php ?> script (of main.php), it still need another <?php ?> to wrap its content. Likewise, main.php <?php echo "<div>This div is generated by php</div>\n"; include 'file.php'; ?> echo "<div>This div is also generated by php</div>\n"; file.php: <div>This is an old static HTML div.</div> ... doesn't require "file.php" content to start with "?>" (exit php) and end with "<?php" (go back to line 3 of main.php). This would FAIL. (See strange structure ALWAYS fail"?>!) Does this really need documentation?
