skip current iteration

Question

I have a php array $numbers = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)

if I am looping over it using a foreach foreach($numbers as $number)

and have an if statement if($number == 4)

what would the line of code be after that that would skip anything after that line and start the loop at 5? break, return, exit?

Answer 1

You are looking for the continue statement. Also useful is break which will exit the loop completely. Both statements work with all variations of loop, ie. for, foreach and while.

$numbers = array( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ); foreach( $numbers as $number ) {     if ( $number == 4 ) { continue; }     // ... snip }
