 New Comment:

The original post got a "no" because it's long been an unspoken
position that GOTO has no place in PHP.

As chance would have it, I submitted a goto implementation to the
php.internals list last on the 28th (hadn't seen your feature request
at the time interrestingly enough) which spawned somewhere over 150
posts on the mailing list plus at least a couple blog entries on the
subject.

The implementation is still under development, and the decision to
implmenent it is.... under discussion.  Feel free to chime in on
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  You can read up on the conversation in the

What is still likely to be added?  Labels?  Gotos?  Both?

Many developers, myself included, would welcome both features.  I'm
curious why you were so quick to spout an unqualified "no" to the
original post.

It's still likely to be added ;-)

Whether this is the relevant place or not, to treat goto and labels as
two heads of the same body (as you seem to imply) is silly.  I can
understand a reluctance to implement goto, but adding labels for the
break statement make a tremendous amount of sense.

I am curious, why not?

We won't implement goto and or labels.
