How can the issue of not getting the desired output be resolved in the given PHP code?

Issue: The code is not getting the desired output because the variable $total is not being updated correctly within the for loop. To resolve this issue, we need to update the $total variable by adding the current value of $i in each iteration of the loop. 

// Incorrect code
$total = 0;
for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {
    $total = $i;
}

echo $total; // This will output 10 instead of the desired total sum of numbers from 1 to 10

// Corrected code
$total = 0;
for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {
    $total += $i;
}

echo $total; // This will output the correct total sum of numbers from 1 to 10
