for loop with continue

Dear PHP people,

   1.
   2. for ($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++){
   3.     if ($i == 2)
   4.         continue;
   5.     print "$i<br />";
   6. }

the above code outputs
0
1
3
4
but the "continue" definition in the PHP
manual(http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-st
.... ntinue.php<http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.continue.php>)
tells that the control will check the condition whenever it encounters the
"continue" statement. According that definition control should check the
condition then the program should output like
0
1
and $i value is 2(since control should go to check the condition) forever
then the loop should become infinite...

But i thought that according for loop definition control will go to count
variable and increments the $i value to 3 and checks the condition that is
way it may give the result like
0
1
3
4
am I right? please clarify that the "continue" definition regarding for
loop....
and have a look at
