I tried brake 1 not working either.

Answer 1

Just type break not followed with any number. But break is helpless outside of a loop / block.

Answer 2

Your break is in an else statement. If your if-else statement is by itself, and not already in its own loop or switch/case then there's nothing to break out of. Hence the error, unless I'm missing something or you didn't include your full code.

Answer 3

Break ends the execution within a foreach, for, while, do-while or switch structure..

if (isset($errors))  
{  
foreach ($errors as $error)  
  {  
    echo $error;  
  }    
}  
else {break 2;} //there is no loop here!  

Also its just break, there is no number behind it.

Answer 4

if (isset($errors))  
{  
foreach ($errors as $error)  
  {  
    echo $error;  
  }    
}  

No need to use break as you seem to want to end on the else condition. just use the above code for your errors, it will be skipped if no errors. No need for break
