[TriLUG] Smarty

[Michael Kimsal]

You'd likely need to create some other placeholder value that is checked
inside your iteration loop, and only process if the value is set to
something specific.  When a condition is met, change the placeholder value.
 The iteration will continue but skip over the actual logic.

Yeah, you could modify the DB call in this case, but being able to break
out of loops in general is a useful pattern, but AFAIK smarty doesn't
support it.  Groovy (java) doesn't either in its "each" iteration, which
bugs me.  :/
