How can the issue of the while loop causing the script to hang be resolved in the PHP code snippet?

The issue of the while loop causing the script to hang can be resolved by adding a condition within the loop that will eventually evaluate to false, allowing the loop to exit. This could be achieved by introducing a counter variable that increments with each iteration and setting a limit for the number of iterations.

$counter = 0;
while ($counter < 10) {
    // code inside the loop
    
    $counter++;
}
