in this case...
foreach ($array as $key => $innerArray
as $innerKey => $value) {
$count += $value;
if ($count % 2 == 0) { // for instance...
break 2; // End loop
} else if ( $count % 3 == 0 ) {
break; // End inner loop
} else if ( $count % 4 == 0) {
continue 2; // Continue outer loop
}
continue; // Continue inner loop
}
Personally, this syntax (the multi-dims loop) seems unreadable...
