SHORT DESCRIPTION

Immediately return to top of a program loop

 

LONG DESCRIPTION

 

In a script, the continue statement causes program flow to move immediately to the top of the innermost loop controlled by any of these statements:

 

·         for

·         foreach

·         while

 

EXAMPLE

 

In this example, program flow returns to the top of the while loop if $ctr is equal to 5. The result is that all numbers between 1 and 10 except 5 are displayed.

 

 

Note that in a for loop, execution continues at the first line in the loop. If the arguments of the for statement test a value that is modified by the for statement, an infinite loop can result.
