im not sure if i understand exactly what you want. but from what ive
gathered, did you try to make use of a FUNCTION?
<?php
function add($val1,$val2) {
return ($val1 + $val2); //returns value from where it was called.
}
function doit(){
if() {
bla bla bla;
}
else blar;
etc...
return; // this just returns, can also be left out.
}
$added = add(1,2);
echo $added;
doit();
?>

there's a control structure i wish php had: a simple block that you can
break out of, e.g.
block {
if ( condition )
break;
blah...
blah...
if ( another condition )
break;
blah...
blah...
etc...
}
the block is just like a loop except that it is executed once only.
this would be a handy structure for writing input validation code. the
blah
blah fragments can be used for opening files, talking to the db,
manipulating strings, processing dates and times, etc., the conditions for
testing if the input is unacceptable.
i'm sure many of the programmers here do this kind of thing routinely and
have their own habits and solutions. i'd be curious what they are. please
let us know!
i guess i ought to go first. it's fugly but it works:
$once = true;
while ( $once ) {
$once = false;
stuff using break where needed ...
}
