While Loop

While Loop

A while loop executes statements within the loop as long as the loops condition is met.

Syntax:

<?php
$x = 0;
while ($x < 11) {
    statement1;
    $x++;
}

Note: The block code must have a statement that changes or increments the condition. Otherwise an infinite loop could result.

Another loop statement is do...while where you execute your code at least once.

Syntax

$x = 0;

do {
   ++$x;
} while ($x < 11);

Note: Same as the while block, this should have a statement that changes, otherwise an infinite loop could result.
