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: --------------------- <? $i = 1; while ($i <= 10) {
    echo $i++;
} else {
    echo "The while couldn't be executed!";
} ?> ---------------------

I have wanted to use this kind of syntax a couple of times, for example: <?php while ($line = mysql_fetch_array(...)) { echo $line; } else { echo 'Sorry no records'; } ?> Otherwise I would write the above code as a while + a if. However I'm unsure if this syntax should be put into PHP, but I thought I'll just post a example of when I would use it. thanks Andrew
