REVIEW OF THE KEY CONCEPTS OF LESSON NO. # 31
✔ if statement: executes some code if one condition is true.
✔ if else statement: executes some code if a condition is true and another
code if that condition is false
✔ if else if statement: executes different codes for more than two
conditions.

“Imagine you have 100 names to print on a webpage.
Would you manually write 100 statements, or is there a
smarter way to automate this?”
Galgotias University 3
It refers to a process that Answer is USING
repeats itself until a
specific condition is met.
LOOPS
They help automate
repetitive tasks efficiently.

PHP LOOPS
In PHP, we have the following loop types:
1. while - loops through a block of code as long as the specified
condition is true
2, do...while - loops through a block of code once, and then repeats
the loop as long as the specified condition is true
3. for - loops through a block of code a specified number of times
4. for each - loops through a block of code for each element in an

PHP WHILE LOOP
The while loop executes a block of code as long as the specified
condition is true.
OUTPUT:
Example:
1 2 3 4 5
$i = 1;
while ($i < 6) {
echo $i;
$i++;
}
Galgotias University 7
PHP DO….WHILE LOOP
The do...while loop will always execute the block of code at least
once, it will then check the condition, and repeat the loop while
the specified condition is true.
Example: OUTPUT:
$i = 1;
1
do {
echo $i;
$i++;
} while ($i < 2);

PHP FOR LOOP
The for loop - Loops through a block of code a specified number of
times.
OUTPUT:
Example:
<?php
The number is: 0
for ($x = 0; $x <= 5; $x++) { The number is: 1
echo "The number is: $x <br>"; The number is: 2
} The number is: 3
?> The number is: 4
The number is: 5
Galgotias University 9
PHP FOREACH LOOP
Loops through a block of code for each element in an array or
each property in an object.
<?php OUTPUT:
red
$colors = array("red", "green", "blue", "yellow");
green
foreach ($colors as $x) { blue
echo "$x <br>"; yellow
}
?>
Galgotias University 10
PHP BREAK
The break statement can be used to jump out of a for loop.
Example:
OUTPUT:
<?php The number is: 0
for ($x = 0; $x < 10; $x++) { The number is: 1
if ($x == 4) { The number is: 2
break; The number is: 3
}
echo "The number is: $x <br>";
}
?>
Galgotias University 11
PHP CONTINUE
The continue statement stops the current iteration in the for loop
and continue with the next.
Example: OUTPUT:
<?php The number is: 0
for ($x = 0; $x < 5; $x++) { The number is: 1
if ($x == 2) { The number is: 3
continue; The number is: 4
}
echo "The number is: $x <br>";
}
?>

{
for ($star = 1;$star <= $row; $star++)

SUMMARY
In this lecture, we have learnt the following loops:
while - loops through a block of code as long as the specified condition is
true
do...while - loops through a block of code once, and then repeats the
loop as long as the specified condition is true
for - loops through a block of code a specified number of times
foreach - loops through a block of code for each element in an array
break statement - used to jump out of different kind of loops.
continue statement - stops the current iteration in the for loop and
continue with the next.
