The for the loop is used when you know in advance how many times the script should run.

Syntax:


for (init counter; test counter; increment counter) {
    code to be executed;
}


Parameters:
  • init counter: Initialize the loop counter value
  • test counter: Evaluated for each loop iteration. If it evaluates to TRUE, the loop continues. If it evaluates to FALSE, the loop ends.
  • increment counter: Increases the loop counter value
The example below displays the numbers from 0 to 10:

Example:

<?php 
for ($x = 0; $x <= 10; $x++) {
    echo "The number is: $x <br>";
} 
?>
