What is the purpose of the while loop in PHP and how does it work?

The purpose of a while loop in PHP is to repeatedly execute a block of code as long as a specified condition is true. This allows for the automation of tasks that need to be performed multiple times without having to manually repeat the code. The while loop evaluates the condition before each iteration, and if the condition is true, the code block is executed. 

$count = 0;

while ($count < 5) {
    echo "Count: $count <br>";
    $count++;
}
