PHP Loops: For, While, Foreach

Loops are fundamental in programming, allowing you to execute code repeatedly. In PHP, there are three main types of loops: for, while, and foreach. The for loop is used when you know how many times to execute a statement. The while loop executes code as long as a condition is true. The foreach loop iterates over arrays and objects. Understanding when to use each loop is important for efficient code. Explore each loop in detail with examples.
