With the PHP shorthand you have just learned, you can now create more readable HTML files with embedded PHP loops.

Here are the key ideas from this lesson:

• The PHP shorthand for loops uses a colon (:) instead of a bracket ({) to open the code block.
• The shorthand uses keywords to close the code block instead of a bracket (}):
  • Use endfor to close a for loop
  • Use endforeach to close a foreach loop
  • Use endwhile to close a while loop
• The closing keyword needs to be followed by a semicolon (;).
• Make sure to re-enter PHP mode using <?php or the echo shorthand <?= before using PHP variables in the loop
