PHP Break and Continue


              With iterative control statements, PHP provides two means of manually interrupting the flow of the loops.These two commands include break (which has already been used in examples up to this point) and continue.  The following example demonstrates how these two loop interrupts can be used in iterative


control statements:


<?php
    for ($test=1; $test < 10; $test = $test + 1) {
        if ($test==3) continue;
        if ($test==6) break;
        echo "The test number is $test<br>";
    }
?>


The following output would be displayed when this PHP script was run:


The test number is 1
The test number is 2
The test number is 4
The test number is 5


              When the  $test variable was equal to 3, the script skipped the remain code and performed the next iteration of the for function.  This resulted in the number 3 not being printed. In addition, when the $test variable was equal to 6, the break function ended the for function thus resulting in the remainder of the script being missed resulting in the number 6 not being printed.

Self Joins

A table name is always ambiguous when table is joined to itself using a self-join. For example, the Country table in the world database contains an IndepYear column indicating the year in which each country achieved independence. To find all countries that have the same year of independence as some given country, a self-join can be used. However, the query cannot be written like this: mysql> SELECT IndepYear, Name, Name -> FROM Country JOIN Country -> ON IndepYear = IndepYear AND Name = 'Qatar'; ERROR 1066 (42000): Not unique table/alias: 'Country' Furthermore, the ambiguity cannot be removed from column references by preceding them with table name qualifiers because the names remain identical: mysql> SELECT Country.IndepYear, Country.Name, Country.Name -> FROM Country JOIN Country -> ON Country.IndepYear = Country.IndepYear -> AND Country.Name = 'Qatar'; ERROR 1066 (42000): Not unique table/alias: 'Country' It ...
