# [[PHP Looping Continue]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
Like `break`, `continue` behaves identically across all four loop types (for, while, do-while, foreach) — this chapter mirrors the break chapter's structure exactly, reinforcing that PHP's loop-control keywords are orthogonal to which loop construct they're used in. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **`continue`** — skips the rest of the current iteration and proceeds to the next one, without ending the whole loop. [S1]
- **Applies uniformly to** — for, while, do...while, foreach. [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
- For: `for ($x = 0; $x < 10; $x++) { if ($x == 4) { continue; } echo "The number is: $x <br>"; }`. [S1]
- While: `$x = 0; while($x < 10) { if ($x == 4) { continue; } echo "The number is: $x <br>"; $x++; }`. [S1]
- Do-while: `$i = 0; do { $i++; if ($i == 3) continue; echo $i; } while ($i < 6);`. [S1]
- Foreach: `foreach ($colors as $value) { if ($value == "blue") continue; echo "$value<br>"; }`. [S1]

## ⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)
소스에서 모순되는 정보는 발견되지 않음.

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — 특정 조건의 반복만 건너뛰고 나머지는 계속 진행하는 필터링 패턴이 대표 사례다. [S1]

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
continue skips only the current iteration (PHP):
```php
foreach ($colors as $value) {
    if ($value == "blue") continue;
    echo "$value<br>";
}
```
