just use a while loop:

// this loop will stop as soon as it find one.php
// and c will have it's index
$c=0
while ($pages[c] != "one.php") {
	// normal link
	c++;
}
print $pages[c]; // this will print one.php


avoid break statements when you can. They break the
flow of code and are usually avoided because they
can create obscure conditions:

for (...)
	if (...) {
	...
	break;	// does this break the FOR or IF?
	}
}

I think there were some other criticisms, but I don't
remember them.
