move onto next item in loop without a bunch of if statements?

[dadamssg87]

Is there a way to tell the loop you are iterating through to move onto the next item if a certain condition is met without having a bunch of nested if statements?

 

<?php

foreach($item as $key => $value)
{
//code to manipulate the data

if($data == $condition1){ //move on to next item}

//manipulate data more

if($data == $condition2){ //move on to next item}

//manipulate data even more

if($data == $condition3){ //move on to next item}

//you get the idea

}

Can you give a real-world example?

<?php

foreach($item as $key => $value) {

if($key == 'Today') {
continue;  //move to next item key.
}

echo $key . '=' . $value . "<br />\n";
}

 

Continue.

What you probably are looking for is the break statement:

break ends execution of the current for, foreach, while, do-while or switch structure.

Nope, what jcbones said, continue
