[PHP-DOC] Bug #17556: Docs lack specific info about switch() and continue; From: ahristov <email protected>
Date: 06/01/02

From: ahristov <email protected>
Operating system: All
PHP version: 4.2.1
PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem
Bug description: Docs lack specific info about switch() and continue;

 After 2 years of coding in PHP I found something strange to me but
probably not to the creators of PHP :)). continue; inside a switch
statement is equivalent of break; For this reason I've found 3 closed bugs
- 5805, 8768 & 7591. However there is no info in the docs that switch() is
one time loop - as said in one of the answer of one of the reports. I
think that switch() docs has to mention that switch() is works like one
iteration loop and that continue without any params within a switch is
equivalent of break;. Thus the effect which one may want will be continue
(level+1) (level is the level which will be if the program was written in
C). Finally there should be short note in the continue; docs that inside a
switch() it works somekind different than in C and provided link to
switch() page for more info.

Best regards,
Andrey Hristov
