Code Inspection: 'continue' is targeting 'switch' statement
Reports the continue statements that are targeting switch statements. In PHP 7.3 and later, such usages are deprecated and will emit an E_WARNING, since they are most likely the result of a programming mistake.
In PHP, such
continuestatements are equivalent tobreak, that is, they end the execution of the currentswitchstructure.In other languages, such
continuestatements behave ascontinue 2in PHP, that is, they take the execution to a higher level control structure (for example, the next iteration of an outer loop).
See continue (php.net), break (php.net), and switch (php.net) for details.
