How can the script posted in the forum thread be optimized for better performance and readability in PHP?

The script can be optimized for better performance and readability in PHP by refactoring repetitive code into functions, using meaningful variable names, and adding comments for clarity. This will make the code easier to understand and maintain. 

<?php

// Define a function to calculate the square of a number
function calculateSquare($num) {
    return $num * $num;
}

// Loop through numbers 1 to 10 and calculate their squares
for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {
    $square = calculateSquare($i);
    echo "The square of $i is $square <br>";
}

?>
