PHP has many advanced features that would make a newbie (or any other level of skills) produce bad code, but yet we have these functions and features in the language. Most code can be written without GOTO, and I belive that it will, but some cases simply gets more messy by not having the option of using GOTO's. Implementing the feature would allow programmers at any level to use it or leave it. I like options! - Frank

Andrey, Well, you already have a list of goto enabled languages to avoid, what's one more? :-) Ilia
