How can the issue with the while loop be resolved in the PHP code snippet?

The issue with the while loop in the PHP code snippet can be resolved by incrementing the variable $i within the loop. This will prevent an infinite loop by updating the condition that the while loop checks against. By incrementing $i, the loop will eventually reach a point where the condition is false and the loop will terminate.

$i = 0;

while ($i < 5) {
    echo $i . "<br>";
    $i++;
}
