PHP: Jump out of parent switch statement

I´d like to jump out of a parent switch-statement. Example:

switch(xyz){
 case "xyz":
   switch(xyz){
    case "hello":
      // JUMP OUT OF THIS TWO SWITCH-STATEMENTS
      break;
   }
   break;
}

Is there a simple way to realize this?

What you need is the break 2;

break is nothing else than break 1 - so in your case quitting the second switch.

break 2 will quit the second switch AND the first switch.

switch(xyz){
 case "xyz":
   switch(xyz){
    case "hello":
      // JUMP OUT OF THIS TWO SWITCH-STATEMENTS
      break 2;
   }
   break;
}

if you want to break out of the 2 switch statement you can use the optional argument to break

switch(xyz){
 case "xyz":
   switch(xyz){
    case "hello":
      // JUMP OUT OF THIS TWO SWITCH-STATEMENTS
      break 2;
   }
   break;
}

check the second example in http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.break.php
