Often when you write code, you want the same block of code to run over and over again a certain number of times. So, instead of adding several almost equal code-lines in a script, we can use loops. Loops are used to execute the same block of code again and again, as long as a certain condition is true.
Loops in PHP are used to execute the same block of code a specified number of times. PHP supports following four loop types. for − loops through a block of code a specified number of times. while − loops through a block of code if and as long as a specified condition is true.
