+====== Control Structures ======
+Control structures in programming are like the structures that let you define how code should operate. Its basically the most important thing of programming languages.
+For example the control structure ''if'' defines if the given case is true it will execute a certain code within it, if its not true it does nothing.
+<code php>
+// This case is true since 2+2 does infact equal 4
+if ((2+2) === 4) {
+  echo 'This will be echoed';
+}
+</code>
+The whole list of PHP Control Structures is found on the official [[https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.control-structures.php|PHP documentation]]
+===== goto =====
+A less common control structure in PHP that I just found out about is goto.
+What it does is pretty self explanatory. The code flow, after hitting a ''goto'' tag will navigate to the point defined in ''goto'' by case sensitive text with a colon afterwards.
+Like so:
+<code php>
+goto after;
+echo 'Wont be echoed';
+after:
+echo 'Will be echoed';
+</code>
+I feel like theres a use for it only very rarely, like if you would like to skip a certain code part in a certain condition, if that somehow isn't possible by returning early, or any other means.
+I also think it's more useful in procedural programming than Object Oriented.
