stop break from leaving a parent loop

[l21ars]

hi there,

while (...)
{
while (...)
{
switch (...)
{
case ..: ...; break;
case ..: ...; break;
default: ...; break;
}
}
}

within a poc like this, the break statement ends not just the switch but also the loop it is embedded in and even the parent loop of that one. don't want that. any suggestions? thanx

Which version of PHP are you using, and what is the real code?

Are you sure you are not accedently changing the values of the vars that are usedin the while statements?

In PHP 4.1.0 this works perfectly:

$a=0;
while($a++<10)
{
&nbsp;&nbsp;echo&nbsp;'a:'.$a.'<BR>';
&nbsp;&nbsp;$b=0;
&nbsp;&nbsp;while($b++<10)
&nbsp;&nbsp;{
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;echo&nbsp;'b:'.$b.'<BR>';
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;switch($b)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;case&nbsp;5:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;echo&nbsp;'line&nbsp;5,&nbsp;breaking<BR>';
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;break;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
&nbsp;&nbsp;};
};
