Using continue in a switch statement

Question

I want to jump from the middle of a switch statement, to the loop statement in the following code:

while (something = get_something())
{
    swi

This might be a megabit to late but you can use continue 2.

Some php builds / configs will output this warning:

PHP Warning: "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break". Did you mean to use "continue 2"?

For example:

$i = 1;

while ($i <= 10) {
    $mod = $i % 4;
    echo "\r\n out $i";
    $i++;
    switch($mod)
    {
        case 0:
            break;
        case 2:
            continue;
            break;
        default:
            continue 2;
            break;
    }
    echo " is even";
}

This will output:

out 1
out 2 is even
out 3
out 4 is even
out 5
out 6 is even
out 7
out 8 is even
out 9
out 10 is even

Tested with PHP 5.5 and higher.
