Looping statements in PHP are used to execute the same block of code a specified number of times.
*Looping*
Very often when you write code, you want the same block of code to run a number of times. You can use looping statements in your code to perform this.
In PHP we have the following looping statements:
* *while *- loops through a block of code if and as long as a specified condition is true
* *do...while* - loops through a block of code once, and then repeats the loop as long as a special 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
*The while Statement*
The while statement will execute a block of code *if and as long as* a condition is true.
*Syntax*
while (condition)
code to be executed;
