Pause While-loop when waiting for function call to complete

While listing each row in a MySQL database, I need to call a function or
another php file for each row.

How can I make the while-loop wait for the called function to complete
before continuing to the next row in the while-loop?

Thanks!

You don't need to.

PHP executes the code in order. When the code makes a call to a
function, that function will need to complete before the code that
follows the call continues.

function longRunningFunction() {
// The function will take a while.
}

// Start a loop
do {
// Call the long running function.
longRunningFunction();
// The next line of code cannot run until the longRunningFunction() returns.
} while($someBreakValueTest)

// The code here cannot run until the do/while is complete.
?>
