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.
