Loop variables in Laravel's Blade

I do quite a lot of loops in Laravel's Blade templates and sometimes, I have to remember some conditions like $found or $needToSave, something like that.

Here is a small example:

<?php $found = false; ?>
@foreach ($users as $user)
    @foreach ($user->posts as $post)

        @if ($post->something == "value")
            <?php $found = true; ?>
        @endif

        @if ($loop->parent->last)
            @if ($found)
                I really found something! Do something special!
            @endif
        @endif

    @endforeach
@endforeach

Now, is there a better way for the <?php $found = false|true ?> part? To me, this seems unclean and I am searching for a cleaner solution, which plays out with the template engine. I know about @php but this seems as ugly to me. Is there anything to assign local vars within the engine?

Cheers

If you don't need the variable later, you can refactor your code to:

@foreach ($users as $user)
    @foreach ($user->posts as $post)
        @if ($loop->parent->last && $post->something === 'value')
            I really found something! Do something special!
        @endif
    @endforeach
@endforeach

In case if you'll use it in the future, you can use @php and @endphp

In some situations, it's useful to embed PHP code into your views. You can use the Blade @php directive to execute a block of plain PHP within your template
