PHP Loops

In the following chapters you will learn how to repeat code by using loops in PHP.

Loops are fundamental building blocks in any programming language and PHP is no exception. They allow you to execute a block of code repeatedly until a certain condition is met, saving you time and effort from writing the same code multiple times.

In PHP, we have the following loop types:

• while - This loop continues to execute the code block as long as a specified condition remains true.

• do...while - This loop executes the code block at least once, then continues as long as the specified condition is true.

• for - This loop is ideal when you know in advance how many times you want to repeat the code block.

• foreach - This loop iterates over elements in an array or object, providing access to each element in each iteration.
