Program based on PHP variables, Expression, arrays, control structure
Theory:
Loops in PHP are used to execute the same block of code a specified number of times. PHP supports
following four loop types.
• 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.
We will discuss about continue and break keywords used to control the loops execution.
Syntax
for (initialization; condition; increment){
code to be executed;
}
The initializer is used to set the start value for the counter of the number of loop iterations. A variable
may be declared here for this purpose and it is traditional to name it $i.
Loops in PHP are used to execute the same block of code a specified number of times. PHP supports

for − loops through a block of code a specified number of times.
• 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.
• foreach − loops through a block of code for each element in an array.
We will discuss about continue and break keywords used to control the loops execution.
The for loop statement
The for statement is used when you know how many times you want to execute a statement or a block of
statements.
Syntax
for (initialization; condition; increment){
code to be executed;
}
The initializer is used to set the start value for the counter of the number of loop iterations. A variable
may be declared here for this purpose and it is traditional to name it $i.
The foreach loop statement
The foreach statement is used to loop through arrays. For each pass the value of the current array
element is assigned to $value and the array pointer is moved by one and in the next pass next element
will be processed.
Syntax
foreach (array as value) {
code to be executed;
}
The break statement
The PHP break keyword is used to terminate the execution of a loop prematurely.
The break statement is situated inside the statement block. If gives you full control and whenever you
want to exit from the loop you can come out. After coming out of a loop immediate statement to the loop
will be executed.
In the following example condition test becomes true when the counter value reaches 3 and loop
terminates.
Loop stopped at i = 3
The continue statement
The PHP continue keyword is used to halt the current iteration of a loop but it does not terminate the
loop.
Just like the break statement the continue statement is situated inside the statement block containing the
code that the loop executes, preceded by a conditional test. For the pass
encountering continue statement, rest of the loop code is skipped and next pass starts.
Conclusion: Thus, we have studied implementation of thread synchronization.
