In PHP, the times function can be used to repeat a piece of code a certain number of times.
Here is an example code:
for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {
echo "This is loop number $i
";
}
This code will print the string "This is loop number X" 10 times, where X is the loop number.
Another example using the times function:
$times = 5;
for ($i = 0; $i < $times; $i++) {
echo "This is iteration number $i
";
}
This code will print the string "This is iteration number X" 5 times, where X is the iteration number.
You can also use the times function in a more compact way using the array_fill and array_map functions:
$times = 3;
$range = range(1, $times);
$array = array_fill(0, $times, "Hello");
$output = array_map(function($number, $word) {
return "This is loop number $number and the word is $word
";
}, $range, $array);
foreach ($output as $value) {
echo $value;
}
This code will print the string "This is loop number X and the word is Hello" 3 times, where X is the loop number.
