continue statement prematurely ends the current iteration of a loop and move onto the next iteration.
You can use it to skip the current item of data.
The following example counts from 1 to 10, but it misses out the number 4:
<?php for ( $i=1; $i <= 10; $i++ ) { if ( $i == 4 ) continue; echo "I've counted to: $i \n "; }// w ww. j av a 2 s . c o m echo "All done!"; ?>
