Break in PHP

In PHP, the break statement is used to terminate the execution of the current loop or switch case statement. Here are some examples of how to use break in PHP:

1. Using break in a for loop:

for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {
    echo $i;
    if ($i == 5) {
        break;
    }
}

The above code will output the numbers 1 to 5, and then terminate the for loop when the $i variable is equal to 5.

2. Using break in a while loop:

$i = 1;
while ($i <= 10) {
    echo $i;
    if ($i == 5) {
        break;
    }
    $i++;
}

The above code will output the numbers 1 to 5, and then terminate the while loop when the $i variable is equal to 5.

3. Using break in a switch case statement:

$var = 2;
switch ($var) {

    case 1:

        echo "This is case 1";

        break;

    case 2:

        echo "This is case 2";

        break;

    case 3:

        echo "This is case 3";

        break;

    default:

        echo "This is the default case";

}

The above code will output "This is case 2" and then terminate the switch case statement.
