How can PHP be used to ensure that each team plays against every other team exactly once in a league schedule?

To ensure that each team plays against every other team exactly once in a league schedule, we can use a round-robin scheduling algorithm. This algorithm generates a schedule where each team plays against every other team exactly once. We can implement this algorithm in PHP by creating a nested loop to iterate over each team and generate matches against all other teams. 

$teams = ['Team A', 'Team B', 'Team C', 'Team D'];
$numTeams = count($teams);

for ($i = 0; $i < $numTeams - 1; $i++) {
    for ($j = $i + 1; $j < $numTeams; $j++) {
        echo $teams[$i] . ' vs ' . $teams[$j] . "\n";
    }
}
