Php: break statement: exit from the loop

‘break’ statement is used to come out of the loop.

 

Syntax

break;

 

Example 1: Printing numbers from 1 to 5.

    echo "i = $i\n";
    if($i == 5){
        break;
    }
}

 

Example 2: Printing stars in triangle shape.

for($i=0; $i<10; $i++){
    for($j=0; $j<10; $j++){
        if($j > $i){
            break;
        }
        echo"* ";
    }
    echo"\n";
