PhpUndefinedGotoLabelInspection
Via Settings dialog

Path to the inspection settings via IntelliJ Platform IDE Settings dialog, when you need to adjust inspection settings directly from your IDE.

The target goto label must reside in the same file and context: you cannot jump into or out of a function or method, and cannot jump into a loop or switch structure.

See goto (php.net) for details.
