A Loop is an Iterative Control Structure that involves executing the same number of code a number of times until a certain condition is met.

PHP For Loop

The above code outputs “21 is greater than 7” For loops For... Loops execute the block of code a specifiednumber of times. There are basically two types of for loops; for for… each.Let’s now look at them separately. For loop It has the following basic syntax

HERE, “for……” is the loop block “initialize” usually an integer; it is used to lớn set the counter’s initial value. “condition” the condition that is evaluated for each php execution. If it evaluates khổng lồ true then execution of the for... Loop is terminated. If it evaluates to lớn false, the execution of the for... Loop continues. “increment” is used khổng lồ increment the initial value of counter integer.How it worksThe flowchart shown below illustrates how for loop in php works

How khổng lồ codeThe code below uses the “for… loop” lớn print values of multiplying 10 by 0 through lớn 10Output:The hàng hóa of 10 x 0 is 0 The product of 10 x 1 is 10 The hàng hóa of 10 x 2 is đôi mươi The product of 10 x 3 is 30 The product of 10 x 4 is 40 The sản phẩm of 10 x 5 is 50 The product of 10 x 6 is 60 The hàng hóa of 10 x 7 is 70 The sản phẩm of 10 x 8 is 80 The sản phẩm of 10 x 9 is 90

PHP For Each loop

The php foreach loop is used to iterate through array values. It has the following basic syntaxHERE, “foreach(…)…” is the foreach php loop block code “$array_data” is the array variable to lớn be looped through “$array_value “ is the temporary variable that holds the current array tác phẩm values. “block of code…” is the piece of code that operates on the array valuesHow it works The flowchart shown below illustrates how the for… each… loop worksPractical examplesThe code below uses for… each loop khổng lồ read & print the elements of an array.Output:LionWolfDogLeopardTigerLet’s look at another example that loops through an associative array.An associative array uses alphanumeric words for access keys. "Female", "John" => "Male", "Mirriam" => "Female");foreach($persons as $key => $value)echo "$key is $value"."";?>The names have been used as array keys and gender as the values.

While Loop

PHP While loop

They are used khổng lồ execute a block of code a repeatedly until the phối condition gets satisfiedWhen lớn use while loops While loops are used to lớn execute a block of code until a certain condition becomes true. You can use a while loop khổng lồ read records returned from a database query.Types of while loops Do… while - executes the block of code at least once before evaluating the condition While… - checks the condition first. If it evaluates khổng lồ true, the block of code is executed as long as the condition is true. If it evaluates khổng lồ false, the execution of the while loop is terminated.While loopIt has the following syntaxHERE, “while(…)…” is the while loop block code “condition” is the condition to be evaluated by the while loop “block of code…” is the code to be executed if the condition gets satisfiedHow it worksThe flow chart shown below illustrates how the while… loop worksPractical exampleThe code below uses the while… loop khổng lồ print numbers 1 khổng lồ 5.Output:12345

PHP vì chưng While

The difference between While… loop & Do… while loop is do… while is executed at-least once before the condition is evaluated.Let’s now look at the basic syntax of a do… while loopwhile(condition);HERE, “do… while(…)” is the do… while loop block code “condition” is the condition lớn be evaluated by the while loop “block of code…” is the code that is executed at least once by the do… while loopHow it worksThe flow chart shown below illustrates how the while… loop worksPractical exampleWe are now going to lớn modify the while… loop example và implement it using the do… while loop and set the counter initial value to 9.The code below implements the above modified exampleThe above code outputs:9Note the above example outputs 9 only.This is because the do… while loop is executed at least once even if the phối condition evaluates lớn false.

Summary

The for… loop is used khổng lồ execute a block of a specified number of times The foreach… loop is used to lớn loop through arrays While… loop is used khổng lồ execute a block of code as long as the set condition is made to lớn be false The do… while loop is used khổng lồ execute the block of code at least once then the rest of the execution is dependent on the evaluation of the set condition
