A loop can be defined as
<br data-mce-bogus="1"> for($i = 1; $i<10;$i++){ // Do something }
Let us consider that application logic dictates that when we $i ==5 , then we exit the loop
for($i = 1; $i<10;$i++){ // Do something if($i == 5) break; }
We can apply the same thing in while
while($i<10) { if($i == 5) break; $i++; }
It is better to put the break condition as
if(5==$i) because many a developers have been ruined by this
if ($i=5) ( missing “=” )
