What method to break to a specific location?

[BobMCT]

Gentlemen;
I have a logic structure that contains multiple nested structures. All works well. Now, however, I have a situation where when a certain condition is true in one structure, the logic should reset several variables then break but resume execution within another/different logic structure.

As an example, in perl, one could label the structure blocks (i.e.: _name then in lieu of break use "last _name" and the logic would immediate exit to the end of the structure with the name referenced and resume from there.

In other languages, perhaps one could use a goto like command but those are not available I believe in php.

So, I am asking/looking for ideas/examples of how other may accomplish this feat? Please provide some ideas, suggestions, etc?

Thanks
Bob

will nested functions not do it for you? you can exit those functions with a "return" directive.

you can use the "break int" command from nested loops which might help too (the int is the number of nests you want to break back from).
