Question

I’m building something in a system that utilizes smarty version 2. The code I’m writing needs to utilize a while loop, however, the while loop was not introduced until version 3.

Can you simiulate a while loop using something like for or foreach? Maybe looping using two conditions or breaking out prematurely? What are my options?

PS: Installing the plugin to provide while loop functionality is not an option.

Answer 1

A for loop while loop is like so:

for(;(put your while condition here);){

}
