Question

I am wanting to get a loop to loop without going through all the code for the loop. For instance in the example code I want to continue the loop without have to go through any of the if statements below the one that matches.

NOTE: I know something similar to this example would be better done using a switch statement but my set of if statements are not as simple as this.

foreach($array as $key=>$value){
    if(is_varchar($value)){loop;}
    if(is_text($value)){loop;}
    if(is_mediumText($value)){loop;}
    if(is_boolean($value)){loop;}
    if(is_integer($value)){loop;}
    if(is_float($value)){loop;}
    if(is_double($value)){loop;}
}

Dont see a reason NOT to use switch here.

foreach ($x as $y) {
  switch ($y) {
    case 0: continue; break;
    case 1: continue; break;
    case 2: continue; break;
    case 3: continue; break;
  }
}

You can completely omit continue;, if the switch-statement is the only one within the foreach-loop

foreach ($x as $y) {
  switch ($y) {
    case 0: doSomethingA(); break;
    case 1: doSomethingB(); break;
    case 2: doSomethingC(); break;
    case 3: doSomethingD(); break;
  }
}

Update (after the update of the question):

The switch-statement is still useable (and in my opinion more readable)

foreach($array as $key=>$value){
  switch (true) {
    case is_varchar($value): continue; break;
    case is_text($value): continue; break;
    // And so on
  }
}

As long as the code simply does nothing you can also simplify it a little bit.

foreach($array as $key=>$value){
  switch (true) {
    case is_varchar($value): 
    case is_text($value):
      continue;
    break;
    // And so on
  }
}
