note 125935 added to control-structures.goto

// goto is STILL a good feature if you know how to use it. // Just don't use it in loops. // Example: $sql = "DELETE FROM sometable WHERE id=?;"; $stmt = $conn->prepare($sql); if (!$stmt) { echo "ERR prepare_fail"; goto End; } $bind = $stmt->bind_param('i', $id); if (!$bind) { echo "ERR bind_fail"; goto End; } $exec = $stmt->execute(); if (!$exec) { echo "ERR exec_fail"; goto End; } if (isset($_POST['file'])) { $file = "../" . $_POST['file']; if (is_file($file)) { unlink($file); } } echo "OK delete_success" ; End: $stmt->close(); $conn->close(); exit; /* instead of repeating the $stmt->close() and $conn->close(), we save a few lines by adding a goto and just close everything at the end. */ ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 45.112.85.246 (proxied: 2001:e68:67f9:b701:598b:fafe:e464:d527) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.goto.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/125935 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125935/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125935/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125935/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125935/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125935/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125935/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125935 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/125935 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
