i did in fact upload that specific code to my server (which is displaying all other commands includeing filecreation and location headers redirects) and got the same error. i have all my files running on my server, and the code above is pretty clearly written its a lable.

A lot of people wondered why they added goto .

Because it's unnecessary. See Dijkstra's "Go To Statement Considered Harmful" and David Tribble's "Go To Statement Considered Harmful:
A Retrospective". To wit, PHP is a high level language, and branches, loops and recursion mean goto statements are largely superfluous.

off to remove my account then

You say that like it's a matter of import.

PHP will hopefully be upgraded in a few months when the free servers get overhauled. Support for "goto" isn't the real advantage to 5.3; closures and namespaces are the biggest wins. Late static bindings and the new magic methods __callStatic and __invoke are nothing to sneeze at, either.
