{while}

{while} loops in Smarty have much the same flexibility as PHP while statements, with a few added features for the template engine. Every {while} must be paired with a matching {/while}. All operators are recognized, such as ==, ||, or, &&, and, etc and you can use modifiers as functions, such as is_array().

Examples

{while $foo > 0}
  {$foo--}
{/while}

The above example will count down the value of $foo until 1 is reached.
