Its syntax is the following:while (expression) {statements}In the following example, $count is initialized to the value 1. The value of $count is then squared andoutput. The $count variable is then incremented by 1, and the loop is repeated until the value of $countreaches 5.The output looks like this:1 squared = 12 squared = 43 squared = 94 squared = 16Like all other control structures, multiple conditional expressions may also be embedded into thewhile statement. For instance, the following while block evaluates either until it reaches the end-of-fileor until five lines have been read and output:Given these conditionals, a maximum of five lines will be output from the sports.txt file, regardlessof its size.81
