PHP Looping: Loops execute a block of code a specified number of times, or while a specified condition is true. In PHP, we have the following looping statements:
- while - loops through a block of code while a specified condition is true
- do...while - loops through a block of code once, and then repeats the loop as long as a specified condition is true
- for - loops through a block of code a specified number of times
- foreach - loops through a block of code for each element in an array
The while Loop: The while loop executes a block of code while a condition is true.
Syntax:
while (condition) {
code
to be executed;
}
The do...while Statement: The do...while statement will always execute the block of code once, it will then check the condition, and repeat the loop while the condition is true.
Syntax:
do{
code to be executed;
code to be executed;
}
while (condition);
while (condition);
The for Loop: The for loop is used when you know in advance how many times the script should run.
Syntax:
for (init; condition; increment){
code
to be executed;
}
The foreach Loop: The foreach loop is used to loop through arrays.
Syntax:
foreach ($array as $value)
{
code
to be executed;
}
