Corey Abma 723fa03609 update: added additional note fields (#29551)
* fix: corrected placement of notes

Some "note" fields were preemptive in their placement; I corrected their placement to be in more appropriate locations.

* update: added additional note fields

Added some additional "note" fields to assist those who are reading through the PHP documentation.

* fix: formatting of escape sequence examples

The formatting was a bit jumbled, so I cleaned up the formatting of the escape sequence.

* update: improved examples

I added a new example to demonstrate the use of a "break" statement in a while loop, as well as numbered each example.

* update: add clarifying statement

I added a note at the end of the description, with the goal of being a bit more explicit in terms of what the "continue" statement does.

title: Continue statement
---
# Continue statement
The `continue` statement passes control to the next iteration inside a loop.
In this example, when the value of i is 2, the next statement within the loop is skipped.
Note: When you execute a `continue` statement, you're effectively bypassing whatever code comes after it (in terms of execution) within the loop. This, along with the `break` statement, are very useful when working with loops.
## Example
```
int[] array = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
for (int i = 0; i < array.Length; i++)
{
if( i == 2)
{
continue;
}
Console.WriteLine("Item on index {0} is {1}", i, array[i]);
}
```
## Output:
```
> Item on index 0 is 1
> Item on index 1 is 2
> Item on index 3 is 4
> Item on index 4 is 5
```
