The point of the `continue` is to break out of the loop, and not run the rest of the code. The `else` is to make the rest of the code (do the insert) execute.

(It's not just about using `else`.)  For instance, if `$skip_specials == true` should we check for any specials?  Perhaps I don't understand the purpose of `$skip_specials`.

This larger block of code is for doing a mass-insert of records to put products on special based on being in a specified category.
The couple lines under scrutiny here are doing:
```
given that (there's an existing special in the db) {
if (we're supposed to leave existing specials alone, instead of replacing them with a new special) {
then jump to the next record (continue)
else
since there's an existing record, we need to delete it (so we can replace it with a new one below)
}
}
... and now that we've cleaned up the existing record, we proceed with
the rest of the following steps to insert the requested new record.
```

If `$skip_specials == true`, there's nothing else that needs to be done.  So, the entire loop can be skipped;  no delete, no insert, just skip specials altogether.
- <a href='https://github.com/drbyte'><img border=0 src='https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/404472?size=16' height=16 width=16'></a> But you're missing that this is based on skip-the-loop-only-if-we're-processing-for-a-specific-record.
- <a href='https://github.com/texdc'><img border=0 src='https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1590605?size=16' height=16 width=16'></a> Ok, follow the logic:  This is the `specials.php` file and we're inserting specials data for a category.  We grab all the products for that category and if a product already has a special, update it, otherwise add one.
Now, we need to be able to toggle updating existing specials.  So, the `skip_specials` terminology is misleading.  I believe the intended functionality is to skip updating existing specials, not skip specials altogether.  Therefore, I recommend changing `skip_specials` to `skip_update`.
Then, when we find an existing special and `skip_update == true`, continue.
```php
if (!$check_specials->EOF && $skip_update) {
continue;
}
if (!$check_specials->EOF) {
// remove existing special
$db->Execute(...
}
```
- <a href='https://github.com/drbyte'><img border=0 src='https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/404472?size=16' height=16 width=16'></a> And so it's back to the same original code.
Sure, it avoids any hint of the arrow antipattern, and avoids using an evil `else`.
But it's no more performant and no more readable, other than changing the variable name.
... and seems redundant (and at first glance even looks like an error) to be running the same `if !EOF` twice in a row.

True, so at the very least, please change the variable name.  There are a lot of opportunities for [refactoring](https://gist.github.com/texdc/598b71f42467e7a93c94) this that can be done later.  And, avoiding `else` at all costs is an excellent exercise in clarity by organizing code by very specific functionality.
