[PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #8768: 'continue' inside of 'switch' statement acts like 'break' instead of 'continue' From: godai <email protected>

Bug description: 'continue' inside of 'switch' statement acts like 'break' instead of 'continue'

When a continue is used inside of a switch statement (inside a loop), it does not jump to the top of the next
loop iteration, but instead jumps out of the switch statement and proceeds to execute the code following the
switch. The following code snippet should give a good example:

<?php
 for( $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++ ) {
    
      switch( $i ) {
        case 5:
          continue;
        default:
          $garbage = 0; // do something unimportant
      }
      
      echo "$i<BR>";
      
    }
?>

The output *should* be the numbers 0 to 4 & 6 to 9 listed down the screen, skipping 5. Instead, 5 appears
in the list making it a complete 0 to 9.
