While loops are another useful construct to loop through data. While loops continue to loop until the expression in the while loop evaluates to false. A common use of the while loop is to return the rows in an array from a result set. The while loop continues to execute until all of the rows have been returned from the result set:
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { // do something with the resulting row }
You can also use the continue command to skip over the current iteration of the loop, then continue. For example:
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { if($row['name'] ! = "Jet")) { continue; } else { // do something with the row }
