Hi there.

Is it possible to make a "while" with a "else"-statement in PHP6?
I know that it's not the first time this subject is up, but my research
shows that a lot of people miss it. Including me.

Here's an example of what I mean:
---------------------
<?
$i =3D 1;
while ($i <=3D 10) {
    echo $i++;
} else {
    echo "The while couldn't be executed!";
}
?>
---------------------

Python & Perl already have this function. So why not PHP?
It could be very useful in an SQL query, if it doesn't return anything.

Best Regards
