PHP continue Statement
Last Updated :
25 Aug, 2022
The continue statement is used within a loop structure to skip the loop iteration and continue execution at the beginning of condition execution. It is mainly used to skip the current iteration and check for the next condition.
The continue accepts an optional numeric value that tells how many loops you want to skip. Its default value is 1.
Syntax:
loop {
// Statements
...
continue;
}
Example 1: The following code shows a simple code with a continue statement.
PHP
<?php
for ( $num = 1; $num < 10; $num ++)
{
if ( $num % 2 == 0)
{
continue ;
}
echo $num . " " ;
}
?>
|
Example 2: The following code shows a continue 2 statement that will continue with the next iteration of the outer loop.
PHP
<?php
$num = 4;
while ( $num ++ < 5)
{
echo "First Loop \n" ;
while (1)
{
echo "Second Loop \n" ;
continue 2;
}
echo "Outer value \n" ;
}
?>
|
Output
First Loop
Second Loop
