In a multiple nested structure I have a section that when true need to
break out of not only the current structure, but several more to read
a much higher level. In perl I would name/label my structures and use
the "last labelname" statement to accomplish this.

The PHP docs state that its break statement can take an optional
parameter which represents the "number" of levels to break out of.
Now this seems like it could work. However, I see a problem with
ongoing maintenance if someone inserts or removes another level which
would cause that number to be inaccurate.

Can someone please recommend how one might accomplish this feat using
flexible php code? I am all ears (well, eyes).

Thanks,

Bob
