The while loop – Loops through a block of code as long as the specified condition is true
The PHP while Loop
The while loop executes a block of code as long as the specified condition is true.
Example
Print $i as long as $i is less than 6:
$i = 1;
while ($i < 6) {
echo $i;
$i++;
}
Note: remember to increment $i, or else the loop will continue forever.
The while loop does not run a specific number of times, but checks after each iteration if the condition is still true.
The condition does not have to be a counter, it could be the status of an operation or any condition that evaluates to either true or false. Continue reading PHP while Loop
