GOTO in PHP?
Jul 30, 2004 @ 12:04:36

Codewalkers.com has a new posting on something that's been concerning the PHP community lately (and causing a stir on the php-internals mailing list) - the topic? Adding GOTO statements into PHP.

The thread on Codewalkers has some of the valid points for not including the functionality, but this thread has been just about filling up the internals list with comments ranging from the simple "are you kidding?" to longer comments detialing how GOTO might be useful in an error-handling or auto-generating code.

Overall, the comments have been against the patch proposed, but there are a few out there making valid points for its inclusion. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out...

Also of note: this entry on Marco Tabini's weblog. As well as this post on Wez Furlong's weblog (arguing that GOTO is "not evil")
