Break With 0
++++++++++++

  It is not possible to `break <https://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.break.php>`_ 0 : it makes no sense. `Break <https://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.break.php>`_ 1 is the minimum, and is the default value.

.. code-block:: php
   
   <?php
       // Can't break 0. Must be 1 or more, depending on the level of nesting.
       for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
           break 0;
       }
   
       for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
           for($j = 0; $j < 10; $j++) {
               break 2;
           }
       }
   
   ?>
