Break

Break in For loop

The break statement can be used to exit a for loop.

Example

Exit the loop when $x is 4:

for ($x = 0; $x < 10; $x++) {
  if ($x == 4) {
    break;
  }
  echo "The number is: $x <br>";
}

Break in While Loop

The break statement can be used to exit a while loop.

Break Example

$x = 0;

while($x < 10) {
  if ($x == 4) {
    break;
  }
  echo "The number is: $x <br>";
  $x++;
}

Break in Do While Loop

The break statement can be used to exit a do…while loop.

Example

Exit the loop when $i reaches 3:

$i = 1;

do {
  if ($i == 3) break;
  echo $i;
  $i++;
} while ($i < 6);

Break in For Each Loop

The break statement can be used to exit a foreach loop.

Example

Exit the loop if $x is “blue”:

$colors = array("red", "green", "blue", "yellow");

foreach ($colors as $x) {
  if ($x == "blue") break;
  echo "$x <br>";
}
