In Handlebars, you can make conditionals, like:

{{#if isActive}}
  <img src="star.gif" alt="Active">
{{/if}}

I've been trying for a while to do something like this in the PHP Mustache. But nowhere i can find anything allowing {{#something withvalue }}

Why not just use the {{#each }} to if something? If I want to Each over a list making lis, and I only want to wrap them in a ul when there are actually lis?

I would need an extra value that has prechecked the list, which I think is ugly.

{{#hasList }}
<ul>
{{# list }}
    <li>{{ title }}</li>
{{/ list }}
</ul>
{{/hasList }}

There must be a way to handle this in Mustache, right?

    It's not ugly, it's Mustache. Each implementation has its own way to escape this feature paucity, and it looks like you can use the .count property of PHP arrays, as in {{#list.count}}
      ...
    {{/list.count}}: http://stackoverflow.com/a/19427289/525656     – Gwendal Roué Mar 14 '15 at 17:38

    `{{#list.count}}` only works if you have an `ArrayIterator` wrapping your array. You can fake it with a `{{#list.0}}` section tag, but in my opinion that's much uglier than adding the extra value. – bobthecow Mar 15 '15 at 00:11
  • `.count` has worked for me with an `new ArrayObject`. Thanks! – Laurens Kling Mar 16 '15 at 10:21
