PHP 5.3 will have GOTO statements??
 

Talk about going back to "basic"s!! :1orglaugh

20 goto 10

c64 days here we come

wow, i'm glad they're focusing on the really important stuff ... i'd rather have goto then something useful like constructor overloading ... pfft quack asssssssssss

sometimes a properly placed goto statement is the most efficient way to code.

Hahahahaha My 8th Grade computer class teach Mr. Navrides would be laughing right now.

fuck do i miss a good goto line

About fucking time!

I remember having to do that with some snaked deal trying to see how long you could make it go without hitting it's tail type things. Too bad that was about as far as that 8th grade class went back then.

I remember gotos from c64, but who the fuck would need such thing in 20 years later...

Reminds me of QBasic...my favorite basic editor.

What until if/then comes out. It'll revolutionize coding.

what, no GOSUB?

look at all these posers.

Coincidentally I wrote a quick script earlier today where I could have saved a few lines using GOTO - nothing ground-breaking but useful here and there for sure :winkwink:

10 goto 40
20 print "and"
30 goto 60
40 print "To infinity"
50 goto 20
60 print "beyond."
70 goto 10

:thumbsup

Cool script.

Calm down, goto haters.

Anytime you use a switch statement, you're following a goto pattern without actually using the word goto.

Remember that a knife is dangerous in an idiot's hands but indispensable in a master chef's.

Pretty cool news!

I never said I hate it, I just think they kinda missed the boat by 20 years.
If you can perform goto statements in basic, this should have been an option in PHP in version 1.

This would be like blue ray announcing that the next wave of players will play beta max.

I fixed this statement to reflect current times as well :upsidedow

:thumbsup:thumbsup

i like GOTO!

rofl this will actually be a useful feature for once.

That would actually be a feature all those people hanging on to their old beta max tapes who currently own a Blu Ray player would probably enjoy though :upsidedow

Time for me to switch to Python for good.

if (lol && wtf) then
rofl else goto whatever

NOP

total QBASIC style.

I wrote my first and only piece of malware in QBASIC when i was 13. It ran a dummy program, then in the background added a "deltree c:\*.* -y" to autoexec.bat, and another line which i cannot recall, to make the text color in DOS black on black. LOL

The other thing i wrote took advantage of our first schoolwide ethernet network. Back then, the school used all 3com switches, and had no subenetting - totally flat network. In addition, there were no access permissions either. So I just wrote an app to write x iterations of x filename with x content in the file x number of times to every system on x subnet. I lol'd - the administrators didn't. All in gangsta QBASIC.

I'm not even going to get into Novell...haha. Man, those were the days.
