dotkpay Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hello, I just stumbled upon this utility "goto" that enables a script skip code to a certain labeled point, it really works for me but my worry is that such functions may be eliminated in future versions of php and I would have to almost rewrite or restructure my programs to work in future php versions. How durable are such functions, it only started in php 5.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Considering it's only new, I would say it will be around for a while. At least any version of > 5.* Still, goto is not something I have ever thought I needed, I can think of better ways of doing things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnoTheDev Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 My god 'goto' is back. I can print my name infinately on the screen again with 2 lines of code. They must have brought it back for when you are working on this new baby: http://www.crunchgear.com/2011/04/05/modernized-commodore-64-pc-will-confuse-co-workers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinM1 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 When I was trying to get my CS degree, 'goto' was considered a four letter word. If you're thinking about using it, your design is bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How durable are such functions, it only started in php 5.3 Avoid using that operator as it will only cause problems, have a good design instead.
