goto

[mikerh9]

I look on the php.net page and coudn't find if PHP has goto ability. I need to use some sort for jump syntax in the code. IF something go to line 1 and and start execute code from line number....

For example
#code
goto line 1;

Well, this really should be in the coding forum, not the code critique. Now, the best implementation of this would be to create a function. So instead of telling it goto line whatever, you just tell it to execute the function.

PHP Code:

function doThis() {
   echo "Blah";
}

if($whatever) {
   doThis();
}

Actually creating a function is php version of goto to or gosub in basic (E.g. im talking more to QBasic as its the only basic language i know).

Urg. Goto. You know when that command was invented it was actually intended for exception handling?

Go To Statement Considered Harmful
Guiseppe Jacopini seems to have proved the (logical) superfluousness of the go to statement. The exercise to translate an arbitrary flow diagram more or less mechanically into a jump-less one, however, is not to be recommended. Then the resulting flow diagram cannot be expected to be more transparent than the original one.
