PHP do while Loop
The do...while loop - Loops through a block of code once, and then repeats the loop as long as the specified condition is true.
The do...while loop in PHP is a control flow structure that executes a block of code at least once, followed by repeated execution as long as a specified condition evaluates to true. It differs slightly from the simpler while loop.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<?php
$i = 1;
do {
echo $i;
$i++;
} while ($i < 6);
?>
</body>
</html>
Output
12345
• The break Statement
The break statement does indeed terminate the loop prematurely, but it doesn't have a direct effect on the loop's condition:
Example
Stop the loop when $i is 3:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<?php
$i = 1;
do {
if ($i == 3) break;
echo $i;
$i++;
} while ($i < 6);
?>
</body>
</html>
Output
12
• The continue Statement
The continue statement is a control flow statement used within loop structures (for, while, do-while, and foreach) in PHP.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<?php
$i = 0;
do {
$i++;
if ($i == 3) continue;
echo $i;
} while ($i < 6);
?>
</body>
</html>
Output
