Is there a "goto" function in php?

psimonis

To be more specific is there a "goto" function, method, way, means of going to another part of the code in php 4.2?

The situation is as follows:

If a condition is met (and the condition is already if'd and elseif'd) we want to "goto" another part of the code, skipping a rather large chunk of it.

Can we designate a point to "goto" to? This would be in the same php file.

We've seen examples of "goto" end, for instance, however, when we try any variation of this, we keep getting all sorts of "unexpected string" errors.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Sorry PHP doesn't support any goto command.

see control structures http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.php

Too bad. We could use it.

Then, can't we write our own function? I know that php allows for that. I remember seeing a tutorial or something about writing you own functions, but I've looked at so-o-o-o many php sites, I can't recollect where I saw it.

Any ideas on this?

Well you could also do some includes.

Like...

<?php
if($stupid == 1){
include("stupid.inc");
}
if($stupid == 0){
include("notstupid.inc");
}ELSE{
include("retarted.inc");
}
?>
