PHP Break
The break statement is used to exit a loop prematurely and transfer control to the statement immediately following the loop..
Break in For loop
The break statement used in a for loop serves the purpose of immediately terminating the loop's execution as soon as the statement is encountered. .
Example
Jump out of the loop when $x is 4:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<?php
for ($x = 0; $x < 10; $x++) {
if ($x == 4) {
break;
}
echo "The number is: $x
";
}
?>
</body>
</html>
Output
The number is: 0
The number is: 1
The number is: 2
The number is: 3
• Break in While Loop
The break statement in a while loop is used to immediately terminate the loop's execution before the loop condition is re-evaluated for the next iteration.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<?php
$x = 0;
while($x < 10) {
if ($x == 4) {
break;
}
echo "The number is: $x
";
$x++;
}
?>
</body>
</html>
Output
The number is: 0
The number is: 1
The number is: 2
The number is: 3
• Break in Do While Loop

$i = 1;
do {
if ($i == 3) break;
echo $i;
$i++;
} while ($i < 6);
?>
</body>
</html>
Output

<?php
$colors = array("red", "green", "blue", "yellow");
