Re: goto

<posted & mailed>

Hey,
GOTO's would be ok.....functions work just as well for me. Anyway, you 
problem is the extra {}s. I'm not exactly sure about how your setup works 
but I think the following code would do what you want.
PHP
---

if($type == 'LOOP') {
   $sql = 'SELECT * FROM products';
   $result = mysql_query($sql, $db);
   $record = $mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC);
   $looped = TRUE;
}
if($type == 'TEXT') {
   if($looped) {
      echo($record[$field]);
   }
}
if($type == 'ENDLOOP') {
   $looped = FALSE;
}
---
Let me know if it works or if you need any more help.....prolly should be 
on the php-general list
