10.2. The until Control StructureSometimes, you'll want to reverse the condition of a while loop. To do that, use until: until ($j > $i) { $j *= 2; } This loop runs until the conditional expression returns true. It's really just a while loop in disguise, except it repeats as long as the conditional is false, rather than true. The conditional expression is evaluated before the first iteration, so this is a zero-or-more-times loop, just like the while loop.[*] As with if and unless, you could rewrite any until loop to become a while loop by negating the condition. But generally, you'll find it simple and natural to use until from time to time.
