How can you determine the number of steps between two numbers in PHP?

To determine the number of steps between two numbers in PHP, you can subtract the smaller number from the larger number and take the absolute value of the result. This will give you the number of steps needed to go from one number to the other.

$number1 = 10;
$number2 = 5;

$steps = abs($number1 - $number2);
echo "The number of steps between $number1 and $number2 is: $steps";
