    Mastering the while Loop in PHP: A Complete Guide

    Mastering the while Loop in PHP: A Complete Guide

     The for loop repeats a segment of code a specific number of times, while the while loop repeats a segment of code an unknown number of times. The while loop works differently than the for loop.

    Syntax:

    
    
    while(condition){
      // execute this code;
      // your code here
    }
    
    

    Example of while loop

    
    
    <?php
    $num = 0;
    
    while($num < 25){
        $num = $num + 5;
        print $num . "<br />";	
    }
    ?>
    
    

    Output:

    The above code will produce the following result-

    
    
    5
    10
    15
    20
    25
    
    

    In the above code, a variable named num is initialized with the value of 0. The condition in the while loop is that while num is less than 25, 5 should be added to num. Once the value of num is greater than 25, the loop will stop executing.
