What is the purpose of using ‘break’ in PHP?

In PHP, the break statement is usually used to terminate the current loop (for example, for, while, do-while) or switch statement execution. When the break statement is executed, the program will immediately exit the current loop or switch statement and continue executing the code after the current loop or switch statement. This can be used to prematurely end a loop when a certain condition is met, or to terminate the execution of a switch block after a specific value is matched.
