For loop in PHP

Loop is a system or way of doing a work in repetitive way. When a user wants to do same work without writing it again and again, then loop can be a good solution. There are three types of loop in php. They are for, while and do while. In this post we are going to discuss about for loop.  

For Loop Writing System

In order to write for loop it is needed to use keyword for. After for parenthesis is needed. inside parenthesis there are three sections. First is initial start, second is conditional logic and final is increment/decrement. And after that, curly brace is needed for writing the body part of for loop.

<?php

    for (initial; condition; increment/decrement) {

        //code
    }
    
?>

  We will now declare a variable $p. The initial value of $p is 0. For loop starts with checking initial value. If condition becomes true, then loop will execute. below is an example.

<?php

    for ($p=0; $p<10>"; //
 is used for printing data in different lines
    }
    
?>

The output of this program is:

 0
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9

In this for loop $p is a variable. Its initial value is zero. During starting of a loop initial value is checked. After that it checks whether  the condition is true or false. If the condition becomes true then loop starts, otherwise not. It goes inside loop and executes codes. After that, the value of the value $p is increased by 1 (anything can be increased/decreased here such as $p--,$p+2,$p+3,$p*$p/2 etc.) and again executes code inside for loop in same way. This process continues until the condition $p<10>becomes false. When the condition becomes false, for loop stopped.  

<?php

    for ($p = 0; $p < 10>= 5) {
            break;
        }
        echo $p . "
";
    }

?>
