Why it is unsafe to use continue statament?

Can any one tell why it is not preferable to use conti开发者_如何学Gonue; statement in php coding?

I dont see a "real" reason not to use it, but I can imagine, that loops can get a little bit confusing, if they are big and complex. Imagine if you see such a loop and dont realize the continue-keyword. Now you would expect, that the loop will get executed to the end every iteration. Especially if you use continue with the optional argument this can get really awkward.

I am not aware of any general reason not to use continue. It is a perfectly fine language construct.

If you have a source saying continue is bad, please add it to your question for discussion.

Some see break and continue as a "goto in disguise". Using these language constructs are perfectly valid. If you don't feel comfortable using them, don't.
