What potential pitfalls should be avoided when using while loops in PHP?

One potential pitfall when using while loops in PHP is creating an infinite loop. This can happen if the condition within the while loop never evaluates to false, causing the loop to run indefinitely. To avoid this, make sure the condition in the while loop will eventually become false based on the logic of your program. 

// Example of avoiding an infinite loop in a while loop
$count = 0;
while ($count < 10) {
    // code block
    $count++;
}
