@do @whileCond - Do-While Loop

The @do and @whileCond directives in Ahmed PHP Template Engine allow you to create a do-while loop, which executes the block of code at least once before checking the condition.

Syntax

@do
    // Code to execute
@whileCond(condition)

• condition: The expression that determines whether the loop continues.

Description

• The block inside @do runs first, regardless of the condition.

• After execution, @whileCond checks the condition; if true, the loop repeats.

• Useful for cases where you need to ensure the loop executes at least once.

Example

@define(counter, 1)

@do
    <p>Iteration: @counter</p>
    @define(counter, counter + 1)
@whileCond(counter <= 3)

Expected Output

<p>Iteration: 1</p>
<p>Iteration: 2</p>
<p>Iteration: 3</p>

Notes

• The loop guarantees one execution before checking the condition.

• Ensure the condition changes within the loop to prevent infinite loops.

• Similar to @while, but always executes at least once before checking.
