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.

<?php
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.
?>
