Question

Is is possible in php when return some value from loop and execution of loop still continues from next index (like GetEnumerator() in C# and the use MoveNext())

problem-

$arr=[0,1,5,9,5];
$i=count($arr);
while($i>0){
    // data base operations
    $_GLOBALS['i']=$_GLOBALS['i']-1;
    //return some value;
}

I am a c# programmer and new to php so any help or ideas would be highly appreciated ?

Return as the Control Structures return can be used in a function (procedural) or method (Object oriented) to return a value, but this is optional. If you have a loop while, for foreach etc. and you use return within, than this would return the value to the calling module and stops the loop.

But there are ways to do a loop and instate of returning it hand it over to a static Object or a global variable.
