break out of an if() block in PHP

By: Strata Ranger

Although most programmers are aware of this already, if for whatever reason you need to 'break' out of an if() block (which, unlike switch() is not considered a looping structure) just wrap it in an appropriate looping structure, such as a do-while(false):

<?php do if ($foo) { // Do something first...


  // Shall we continue with this block, or exit now?
  if 
($abort_if_block) break;
  // Continue doing something...

} while (false); ?>
