I see that the vote was not passed at the RFC, but I don't see any argumentation why. Other languages don't have it is not true, and also not a reason to not add it. What are arguments against having such a useful construct?

It's just nicer, easier to look at and it uses less code which is what I go for. However... if there is a reason behind why you won't do this, I would understand. while ($result = $get->fetch_assoc()) { $in=1; echo 'Something'; } if(!$in){ echo 'Nothing'; } WHEN I could be doing this while ($result = $get->fetch_assoc()) { echo 'Something'; }else{ echo 'Nothing'; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-05-10 13:56:48] asd at asd dot asd Hey, it's an awesome feature everyone would like.
