The PHPFreaks.com website gets back to basics with a new tutorial they've posted - a look at looping in PHP.

Looping is simply a way for you to reduce the amount of code and/or content you have to write out. The idea is that you have something you have to do, or some content you have to show, and instead of just "writing it all out," you find a pattern to it - a common denominator - and let PHP execute the code or generate the content piece by piece using that pattern, based on a condition.

Their example solves the problem of finding taking a range of numbers and seeing how many of them can be evenly divided by another number.

Stefan Mischook has posted another video introducing beginning PHP developers to the basics of the language. In this new video, he explains looping.

I've released a new video tutorial covering PHP basics. In this video I teach three different loop types in PHP: For Loops, While Loops and Foreach Loops.

You can watch this video here or check out some of the other video tutorials he has posted on everything from conditionals to working with objects.
