PHP code inside a Laravel 5 blade template

Question

I have to place some PHP code inside a Laravel 5 blade template. Like below

@foreach ($farmer->tasks as $task)
    @if ($task->pivot->due_at) < da         


        

Answer 1

Laravel recipes suggest a simple, but effective, way to do it without including the PHP tags:

{{--*/ $var = 'test' /*--}}

{{-- --}} works as a blade comment / and / reverts the effect of comment resulting on

The problem is that is longer than including PHP tags :-(
