while (statement)
{
  //code to be executed
}

Explanation

The statement in ‘while (statement)’ needs to be an expression that can be either false or true.

If the statement is true, the code in the while loop will be executed until the statement happens to be false.

Example

<html><body>

<?php
$i = 0;

while ($i<5)
{
  echo '$i = '.$i.'<br />';
  ++$i;
}
?>

</body></html>

Output:

$i = 0
$i = 1
$i = 2
$i = 3
$i = 4
