As I mentioned earlier, goto is one of the few features that I really missed in the language for the past several years I've been using PHP. We can debate until the end of time about it, but the fact is that it can be a very useful tool. I guess the question is if we should ban every feature that can be abused by a novice developer? I guess there is no need to spell out my answer to that :) Edin
