Hello,
As I was reading https://kristoff.it/blog/zig-multi-sequence-for-loops/ I
found a very nice trick which in PHP would be:
foo: while ($i--) {
if ($ % 2) break foo;
}
What do you think?

It looks interesting. But we already have goto, which could be used in this case, too.
while ($i--) {
if ($i % 2) goto foo;
}
foo:
Unfortunately goto does not have a good image ;-)
Best regards

Yes, I use sometimes this feature in JavaScript (which allows to “break” any labelled block, not just loops).
That said, it is somewhat less needed, since we have goto in PHP. But it would be nevertheless welcome. (I won’t go as far as deprecating break 3;, although I tend to avoid such code.)

The bad reputation of goto is indeed harmful. I heavily use goto in PHP because I like structured programming. :-)
