@break and @continue - Loop Control

The @break and @continue directives in Ahmed PHP Template Engine allow you to control the flow of loops by either exiting the loop entirely (@break) or skipping the current iteration (@continue).

Syntax

@break
@continue

• @break exits the loop immediately.

• @continue skips the current iteration and moves to the next one.

Example

@foreach(numbers as number)
    @if(number == 3)
        @break
    @endif
    <p>{{ number }}</p>
@endforeach

Output

<p>1</p>
<p>2</p>

(The loop stops when number == 3.)

Using @continue

@foreach(numbers as number)
    @if(number == 2)
        @continue
    @endif
    <p>{{ number }}</p>
@endforeach

Output

<p>1</p>
<p>3</p>

(The number 2 is skipped.)

Notes

• @break is useful when you need to stop a loop early based on a condition.

• @continue is helpful when you want to skip certain iterations without stopping the loop.

• Both directives work inside @for, @foreach, and @while loops.
