Warning: "Continue" Targeting Switch Is Equivalent to "Break". Did You Mean to Use "Continue 2"

phpMyadmin error continue targeting switch is equivalent to break

This error occurs by PHP backward-compatible.

Updating to the latest version, for me was 4.8.5 resolved the issue.

continue 2 and break in switch statement

The continue 2 skips directly to the next iteration of the structure that is two levels back, which is the foreach. The break (equivalent to break 1) just ends the switch statement.

The behavior in the code you've shown is:

Loop through $elements. If an $element is type "a" and condition1 is met, or if it's type "b" and condition2 is met, skip to the next $element. Otherwise, perform some action before moving to the next $element.

From PHP.net:continue:

continue accepts an optional numeric argument which tells it how many
levels of enclosing loops it should skip to the end of. The default
value is 1, thus skipping to the end of the current loop.

From PHP.net:switch

PHP continues to execute the statements until the end of the switch
block, or the first time it sees a break statement.

If you have a switch inside a loop and wish to continue to the next
iteration of the outer loop, use continue 2.

Laravel install continue targeting switch is equivalent to break. Did you mean to use continue 2?

This ended up being a problem with some conflicting aliases in my .zshrc config.

Composer was aliased as usr/local/bin/composer.phar, so I moved that file to ~/.composer/vendor/bin/composer, and deleted all the aliases for laravel, lumen and composer in my .zshrc file and removed and re-added the basic export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin" path as well.
