How can a PHP script with an endless loop be terminated effectively?

An endless loop in a PHP script can be terminated effectively by setting a condition within the loop that can be met to break out of the loop. This condition can be based on a certain value, a specific time limit, or an external event trigger. By implementing a proper termination condition, the script can avoid running indefinitely and causing performance issues.

// Example of terminating an endless loop after a certain number of iterations
$count = 0;
while(true) {
    // Perform some tasks here
    
    $count++;
    if($count >= 1000) {
        break; // Terminate the loop after 1000 iterations
    }
}
