Mastering the do-while Loop in PHP: A Complete Guide

Syntax:

do{ 
// execute this code;
}

while (condition);

Example:

<?php
$num = 0;

do{ 
$num = $num + 5;
print $num . "<br />";
}

while ($num < 25); 
?>

Output:

This will produce the following result

5
10
15
20
25

In the above code, a variable named num is initialized with the value of 5. The condition in the do-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.
