PHP Continue Statement
The PHP continue statement can be used to jump out of
the current iteration of a loop, and continue with the next.
Continue in For Loops
The continue statement stops the current iteration in the
for loop and continue with the next.
Example
Move to next iteration if $x = 4:
for ($x = 0; $x < 10; $x++) {
if ($x == 4) {
continue;
}
echo "The number is: $x <br>";
}Continue in While Loop
The continue statement stops the current iteration in the
while loop and continue with the next.
Example
Move to next iteration if $x = 4:
$x = 0;
while($x < 10) {
if ($x == 4) {
continue;
}
echo "The number is: $x <br>";
$x++;
}Continue in Do While Loop
The continue statement stops the current iteration in the
do...while loop and continue with the next.
Example
Stop, and jump to the next iteration if $i is 3:
$i = 0;
do {
$i++;
if ($i == 3) continue;
echo $i;
} while ($i < 6);
Continue in Foreach Loop
The continue statement stops the current iteration in the
foreach loop and continue with the next.
Example
Stop, and jump to the next iteration if $x is "blue":
$colors = array("red", "green", "blue", "yellow");
foreach ($colors as $x) {
if ($x == "blue") continue;
echo "$x <br>";
}
